CAUTION:Attachingadapterground
terminal to wall outlet cover screw
does notground the appliance
unlesscover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall outlet is
groundedthroughhousewiring.You
should havethe circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cordfrom the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT LEE the
appliance until a proper ground
hasbeen established.
However,if youstill elect to usean

necessarythat it be a ULlisted

Some models arealso rated100

and serial number plate.)This is
recommendedforbestperformance
and to preventoverloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause
a possible fire hazardfrom
overheating wires.
Location
Yourfreezershouldbe conveniently
located for day-to-dayusein a dry,
well-ventilated room.
Formost efficient operation, it
should not be locatedwhere air
temperature aroundthe freezer is
ever higher than I1O*F.orcolder
than 32°F.
Be sure to install your freezer on a
floor strong enough to support it
when it is fully loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Allow 4 inches on top and 3 inches
at sides and back for proper air
circulation.

and water(seepage 12).
2. Connect cord to power outlet.
3. Turntemperature control to
No.4, This is the normal setting for
safe,iong-term freezing. For colder
temperatures,turnto highernumbers.
4. Aliowfreezerto operatefor at least
two hoursbeforeplacingfood inside.
Freezing temperature selection is
made bysetting the control from
No. 1 to No.7 (coldest).
Normal, safe freezing level is
obtained by setting the control at
No. 4.
OFF position permits turning the
freezer off without unplugging it.
1.Freezethe best. Freezeonly
top-qualityfoods. Freezingretains
qualityandflavor; it cannotimprove
quality.
2. Keepwork area clean.
3. Workquickly. The quicker fruits
andvegetables arefrozenafter
picking, the better the frozen
productwill be.You’llsavetime,
too,with less culling and sorting.
4. Choosecorrect packaging
materials. Frozenfoods will dry
out if not properly wrapped or
packaged. Both rigid containers
and flexible bagsor wrappers
can be used. Makesure they are
especially designed for freezing.
5. Followreliable instructions for
freezing different types of food.
6. Freezefoods in practical meal-
sized packages.
7. Fillcontainer properly. When
placing liquid or semi-liquid foods
in containers, leaveabout 1/2” at
top (1-1/2”for glass containers) to
allowfor expansion during freezing.
8. Freeze correct quantities.
There is an established maximum
of food your freezer is designed to
freezeat one time—approximately
3 pounds per cubic foot of freezer
capacity. In normal position, your
freezer’s control dial will maintain
sufficiently low temperatures in the
freezer to freeze recommended
quantities of food.
If you have a large quantity of food
to freeze, store part of it in your
refrigerator’sfreshfoodcompartment
until the first quantity is frozen.
