GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The product is equipped
with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The
cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting o the third grounding prong in
order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no eective grounding for the freezer and may result in shock hazard.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet
near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product
or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
