Electrical information
WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your freezer's safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical
rating. The power cord of the freezer is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for protection against shock hazards. It must
be plugged directly into its own properly
grounded three-prong receptacle, protected
with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. The power supply circuit must be
installed in accordance with current edition
of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70)
and local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Receptacles protected
by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER
PLUG.
• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more,
refrigerator performance may be affected.
Operating the freezer with insufficient power
can damage the motor. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty. If you suspect
your household voltage is high or low, consult
your power company for testing.
• To prevent the freezer from being turned
off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Unplug the freezer before cleaning and
before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in
any manner.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
• Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the
compressor but does not disconnect power to
the light bulb or other electrical components.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazard or electic shock. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug. DO NOT
remove any prong from the power cord.
