IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux freezer.

General Safety

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, near this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.

• Do not operate the freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.

Child Safety

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer 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.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children.

• Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to children.

• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.

Proper Disposal Of Refrigerators And Freezers

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous - even if they will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents:

• Remove the door(s).

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

WARNING WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your freezer’s’s safety mechanisms are operating correctly.

• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.

• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered 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 the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Unplug the freezer before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

Other Precautions

• 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 the light bulb or other electrical components.

WARNING WARNING

WARNING WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
