IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed
as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce
the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the 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.
• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly-qualified person in order to avoid an electrical hazard.
• The power supply to the freezer must match the indicated power supply on the nameplate.
Otherwise the freezer will be damaged and the manufacturer's warranty will be invalidated.
• Do not place or use anything flammable, such as gasoline, gas cylinders, solvent-based
cleaning fluids, near the freezer due to the risk of fire. Substances with a high percentage of
alcohol must be stored in tightly sealed bottles or other containers and should always be
placed in an upright position.
• Do not locate the freezer in a damp or wet environment or in a position where it is likely to get
splashed. Such an environment would weaken the electrical insulation or expose live wires,
possibly causing an electric shock or fire.
•
The freezer must be disconnected from its power source if it stops working or when it is
being cleaned or repaired.
•
To remove the plug from the socket, grasp the plug firmly and pull it out. Do not pull on the
cable. Do not connect the machine to electrical outlets while your hands are wet or damp.
•
If a gas leak is discovered in the same room as the freezer, turn off the gas supply. Do not
open the freezer door and do not remove the plug from the main electrical supply. A small
spark resulting from such actions could cause a gas explosion. Open all of the doors and
windows in the room to disperse the gas.
•
Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit for a few days."
√
Before you throw away your old appliance: Take off the doors. Leave the shelves in
place so that children may not easily climb inside.
√ Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the freezer.
