To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
or injury when using your freezer, follow
these basic precautions:
?
Read all instructions before using the freezer.

Before you throw away your old freezer: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in
place so that children may not easily climb inside.

?
Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
?
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
