1. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil-

INSUREPROPER
GROUNDEXISTS
BEFOREUSE
Where a standard two-prong wall t-eceptacle is en-
countered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO /VO~ UNDER ANY C!RCUIWSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD [GRCMJNL)]PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
LISAGE OF ADAPTER PLUG
Bf:CaUSe Of potentiai safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recc)rnmend against the use
of an adapter plug. However, if you stiil elect to Llse
an adapter, wl~ere local codes penmit, a TEM PC)RARY
CONNECTION may be macie to a prc)perly grounded
two--prong w~ll receptacle by !he use of a UL listed
su!ated, and wall receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician.to make sure, the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adap,
ter, 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 this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
2. THE FREEZER SHOULD ALWAYSBE PLUGGED
INTO ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL ELECTRICAL OUTLET
(115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase AC). This is recom-
mended for best performance and to prevent over-
b
loading house wiring circuits, which could cause a
possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance exten-
sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15 amperes minimum. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service
organization.
3. Repair or repkme immediately all electric ser-
vice cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
4. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug f!rmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
5. After your freezer is in operation, do not touch
the cxddsurfaces, when hands are damp
or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces
6. !30 not operate your freezer in the presence of
e>:p~~~i~~f~me~,
7. Unplug your freezer:
A. f3ef6remakingariy repairs–(NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be performed by a .,
qualified individual,)
B. Before cleaning.
C. Before replacing a burned-out light-bulb:- (A “
burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced. The freezer should be unplugged in order
to avoid contact with a live wire filament.)
hfo!e: Turning control to OFF position does not
remove power to the light circuit.
&
If yourold freezer isstillaround the house but not
in
use, be sure to remove the lid. This will reduce
the possibility of danger to children.
Note and follow ullprecmtims contained in this Use & Care Book.
TEMPERATURECONTROL
Freezing temperature selection is made by
setting dial from No. 1 to hTo.9 (9is coldest).
ihlormal safe freezing level is obtained by
setting the control at No. 1. Dial has no
OFF setting: this prevents freezer from
being turned off.accidentally.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
e Don.t locate your freezer in a warm. unY’entilatecflaundry areti or storage room.
Areas adjacent to your range. z heating
vent or where sunshine \villstrike the freez-
er should also be avoided if possible.
* Try to urrailge your frozen foods systemutically so you can find whu[ j’ou want in
the ftwu.cr quickl}’.
9. Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely unless you cook them after they have
thawed. The United States De~artment of Agricul-
ture in Home and Garden Bulletin No, 69 say=,, “.
if foods have thawed only partially and there a
still ice crystals in the package, they may safely b
refrozen ...Refrozen food should be used as soon
as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have warmed
gradually over a period of several days to a temperature of 40°F,, they are not likely to be fit for
refreezing. Under these conditions, meats, poultry,
most vegetables and some prepared foods may be-
come unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit products
soon develop an undesirable flavor. ”
Inside–Clean your freezer at least once a
year. Before cleaning the freezer interior,
be sure to remove power cord plug from
outlet.
To clean freezer interior, follow Defrosting Instruction #5.
Outside–The steel exterior is coated with
a high quality baked-on finish. However.
without proper care, degradation of t .
finish can occur and permit rust spots
form on the outside of the cabinet.
It is recommended that a coat of \vax or
liquid polish be applied when the freezer
is new and repeated several times each
year. The wax or polish. which should be
suitable for use on appliances, will close
the microscopic pores in the paint and seal
out contaminants which can cause rust.
