installed in accordance with the local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualied electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. Do not use an extension cord or
ungrounded (two prong) adapter.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the freezer before cleaning and
before defrosting to avoid electrical shock.
• If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer
performance may be affected. Operating
the unit with insufcient 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 unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

any manner.
