For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Read product labels for flammability and other
warnings.
Child Safety
•
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the freezer is
unpacked. Children should never use these items
for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads,
plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
•
A child might suffocate if he crawls into a
freezer to hide or play. Remove the door of a
freezer when not in use, even if you plan to
discard the freezer. Many communities have
laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
•
Remove and discard any spacers used to secure
the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a
choke hazard to children.
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that
safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will
operate properly.
•
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical
rating. The power cord of the appliance 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 receptacle
must be installed in accordance with the 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 adapter plug.
Spacer
•
If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer
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 unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
•
Do not pinch, knot, or bend 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 other electrical
components.
First Steps
Before starting the freezer, follow these im-
portant first steps:
Installation
•
Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet.
•
The freezer should be located where surrounding
temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C).
Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below will NOT
affect freezer operation. Additional compressor
heaters are not recommended.
•
Allow space around the unit for good air circulation.
Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all sides of the
freezer for adequate circulation.
Leveling
The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly
on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to sup-
port a fully loaded freezer.
NOTE: It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to
be level in order to function properly. If the
freezer is not leveled during installation,
the lid may be misaligned and not close or
