IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2
WARNING
ELECTRICAL RATING: The “serial rating plate” indicates the voltage and frequency the
freezer is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by
overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a
separate fuse circuit from the meter panel. This will
help to eliminate current fluctuation which might
cause motor trouble.
IMPORTANT WARNING: An empty refrigerator is
a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove
either the gasket or lid from unused appliances, or
take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you
throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN LOCATING YOUR FREEZER:
1) Locate the freezer in such a manner that extension cords are not necessary.
2) Due to lid and hinge arrangement, it is impossible to install your freezer directly against the wall. The
spacing on the back is essential for maintaining proper air circulation around the freezer.
3) Select a location with reasonable year round temperatures. We do not recommend operating the freezer
when surrounding air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), though it will not harm the freezer to stand in any
temperature below 0°C (32°F), provided the temperature control is set to avoid running the unit. In order to
keep operating cost down, do not place freezer near a stove, furnace, heat register or in direct sunlight. If
the place selected for your freezer is damp or moist, as in basements, place freezer on wooden blocks (two
or three 2x4’s under entire length will ensure adequate support).
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Use an
exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your freezer to
extension cords or together with any other appliance
in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
