described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire,
electrical shock or injury when using the chest freezer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an extension cord
• Replace all panels before operating
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your chest freezer, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain
• Never clean chest freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

is disconnected.
