CAUTION:Attachingadapterground
terminal to wall outlet coverscrew
does not ground the appliance
unless coverscrew 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
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand.
Ifthis is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USEthe
until a proper ground

Becauseofpotentialsafety

we strongly recommend against
the useof anextensioncord.
However,if you still electto usean
extensioncord, it isabsolutely
necessarythat it be a UL listed
3-wiregroundingtypeappliance
extensioncord havinga grounding
type plug and outlet andthat the
electrical ratingofthe cordbe 15

performanceandto prevent
overloading housewiring circuits,
which could causea possible fire
hazardfrom overheatingwires.

Location
Yourfreezershouldbe conveniently
locatedfor day-to-dayusein a dry,
well-ventilated room.
Formost efficient operation, it
should not be locatedwhere air
temperature around the freezeris
ever higher than 1lO°F.or colder
than 32°F.
Besure to install your freezer on a
floor strong enough to support it
when it isfully loaded.
Also see Energy-SavingTips
regarding location.
Clearances
Allow 2 inches on top, 2 inches at
back and l/2-inch at sides for
proper air circulation.
