Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this

appliance 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. [t 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% or more, appliance performance may be affected. Operating the

unit with insufficient power can damage the compressor. 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 appliance 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.

Other Precautions

• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull

straight out from the receptacle.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the appli- ance before cleaning and before replacing a

light bulb. Do not operate the unit in the presence of

explosive fumes.

Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power

to the light bulb or other electrical components.

This Use & Care Guide provides general operating instructions for your model. Use the unit only as

instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the unit, follow these important first steps.

Location

Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

For the most efficient operation, the appliance should be located where surrounding

temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). The Freeze Control Feature is designed to

automatically maintain the selected interior temperature within these boundaries.

Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75 mm) space on all

sides of the unit for adequate circulation.

1"(25 mm)

The exterior walls of the unit may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30 ° F

warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particularly important in

hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your appliance.

Leveling

The appliance must have all bottom corners

resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be

strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.

It is very important for your appliance to be level in order to function properly. If the unit is not leveled during installation, the door may

be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Your Appliance:

After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter's

level to level the unit from front-to-back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, 1/2bubble higher, so

that the door closes easily when left halfway open.

Cleaning

Wash any removable parts of the appliance interior and exterior with mild detergent and warm water.

Wipe dry. DO NOT USE HARSH CLEANERS ON

THESE SURFACES.
