Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of anadapter
plug. However. if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPOmy coNNEc-
TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter whichis available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5).The larger slot in the
adapter must be alignedwith the larger slot in
the wallreceptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.

TIPS ON FREEZING FOODS
There are three essential requirements for
efficient homefreezing.First, of course. is
initial quality. Only top-quality foods
should be frozen. Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Second is speed. The quicker fruits and vege-
tables are frozenafter picking, the better
thefrozenproductwillbe.You’llsavetime.
too, because lesscullingand sorting willbe
necessary.The third requirement is proper
packaging.Use foodwraps designed especiallyfor freezing;
in a wide selection at your favorite store.
Limit freezing offresh(unfrozen)meats o]
seafoods to 21pounds at atime.
