3.1 Safety Information
WARNING
Read and understand the entire manual before operating or maintaining Stoelting equipment.
This Owner’s Manual provides the operator with information for the safe operation and maintenance of Stoelting
equipment. As with any machine, there are hazards associated with their operation. For this reason safety is
emphasized throughout the manual. To highlight specific safety information, the following safety definitions are
provided to assist the reader.
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their
explanations, deserve your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate
any danger. The instructions or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
Safety Labels
Take notice of all warning labels on the freezer (refer to Figure 7). The labels have been put there to help you
maintain a safe working environment. The labels have been designed to withstand washing and cleaning. All labels
must remain legible for the life of the freezer. Labels should be checked periodically to be sure they have not been
damaged or removed and that they can be recognized as warning labels.
If you are in need of replacement labels, contact the authorized Stoelting distributor in your area.
