IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Your safety and the safety of others ar e very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance.
Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential
hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will
follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the word ”DANGER” or
“WARNING”.

DANGER means that failure to heed this
safety statement may result in severe
personal injury or death.

WARNING means that failure to heed
this safety statement may result in
extensive product damage, serious
personal injury, or death.

Safety messages wi ll al e rt you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance
of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positio ned and installed as
described in this m anual, so read the m anual carefully. To r educe the risk
of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the freezer, follow basic pr e­cautions, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding pro ng, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the freezer or disconnect the power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can

result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your freezer unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

2

• Use two or more people to move and install the freezer. Failure to do so can result in back or
other injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your freezer, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60

°

F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,

90
rain, water spray or drips.

• The freezer should not be located next to ovens, radiators or other sources of high heat.

• The freezer must be installed with all electrical connections in accordance with state and local

codes. A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and loca l codes and ordin anc es , is required.

• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of the freezer.

• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.

• It is important for the freezer to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make

several adjustments to level it.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the freezer.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may

damage or discolor the interior.

• Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few
days.”

• Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors. Leave
the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator/freezer.

THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY YOUNG CHILDREN OR INFIRM PERONS
UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY SUPERVISED BY A RESPONSIBLE PERSON TO
ENSURE THAT THEY CAN USE THE APPLIANCE SAFELY. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE
SUPERVISED TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE.
