READ AND SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for
your model. Use your freezer only as instructed in this guide.
These instructions are not meant to cover every possible condition
and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must
be practiced when installing, operating, and maintaining any

appliance.

RECORDYOUR MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS

provided below. The serial plate is located on the left wall inside

FOR YOUR SAFETY

,, Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors

and liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance.
Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

• Do not operate this product in the presence of explosive
fumes.

CHILD SAFETY

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping
material immediately after the freezer is unpacked. Children
should never use these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become
airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe
cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other
appliances or furniture.

• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very
dangerous attraction to children.

• Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves
during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to

children.

• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even
if it is being discarded.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety

mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate

properly.

Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-prong

grounding plug for protection against shock hazards, it must
be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-
prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or

circuit breaker. The power supply circuit must be installed in

accordance with current edition of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified

electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE

AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.

Ifthe voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance

may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power
can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the
warranty. Ifyou suspect your household voltage is high or low,
consult your power company for testing.
To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do

not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull
cord.

Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always

grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the compressor but

does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical
components.
