For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline, or other flam-
mable liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance. Read product labels for warnings
regarding flammability and other hazards.
Do not operate the unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
Remove and discard any spacers used to se-
cure the shelves during shipping. Small objects
are a choke hazard to children.
Remove all staples from the carton. Staples
can cause severe cuts, and also destroy
finishes if they come in contact with other ap-
pliances or furniture.
WARNING
Child Safety
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exte-
rior wrapping material immediately after the
appliance is unpacked. Children should never
use these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and can
quickly cause suffocation.
An empty, discarded freezer is a very danger-
ous attraction to children.
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is
not in use, even if it is being discarded.

WARNING

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in the design of this
freezer will operate properly.
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical
rating. The power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle,
protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with the local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electri-
cian. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOM-
MENDED. Do NOT use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
If voltage varies by 10 percent or more,
freezer performance may be affected. Oper-
ating the freezer with insufficient power can
damage the motor. Such damage is not cov-
ered under the warranty. If you suspect your
household voltage is high or low, consult
your power company for testing.
To prevent the freezer from being turned off
accidentally, do not plug unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in
any manner.
WARNING
Other Precautions
To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.
Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
Turning the control to OFF turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect power to
other electrical components.
