Do not allow chiMren to climb, st;rod or hang
on the shelves in the ti'eeze_: They could damage
the fl'eezer and seriously iqim'e thelnselves.
_Mter your fl'eezer is in operation, do not touch
tile cold surfi_ces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely
cold S/llbf;ices.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q)ms and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Lrnphlg tile fl'eezer before cleaning, making
repairs or changing the light bulb.

Turning tile control to tile OFFposifion does
not remove power to the light circuit on models
with interior light.
Do not reti'eeze fl'ozen foods which have

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UI,-listed (in the United

A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety this appfiance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard ?_-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibiliD' of electric shock ha/_u'd
fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it
is your personal responsibili_, and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
The freezer should always be I)hwgeda, into its own
indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage rating
that matches the rating plate,
This provides the best pe_to_mance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring, circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your fl'eezer by pulling on the power
cord. Mways grip [)ltw_fimfl) and pull straight ()tit
fl'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'a)'ed or otherwise damaged. Do not
rise a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion dalllage
ahmg its length or at either end.
_]/en moving the fl'eezer away fl'oln the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterp/ug_notpermittedinCanada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
Howe\'et; if you must use an adapter; where local
codes pe_nit, a temporary connection ma) be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UiAisted adapter a\_filable at most local
hardware stores.
The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
aclapte_; always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
te_ninal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground temfinal breaLs, DO NOT USE
the freezer until a proper ground has been
established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft
outer is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the ckcuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the oufiet is proper/)/grounde_
