refrigerated compartment when hands are damp
or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.

in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small; be careful closing doors when

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

HOW TO SAFELY DISPOSE OF USED FREEZER
EQUIPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned display cases are
still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few
days.”

It is much safer if doors and lids are removed so
children cannot get trapped inside, leaving the
shelves in place will also deter children from trying to
climb inside.

If you are getting rid of your old display case, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents. Depending on the country where the
unit is located there will be officially approved ways
of disposing of your used equipment.

It is important that care is taken in disposing of used
freezers. Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

Refrigerant Disposal

Your old freezer may have a cooling system
that uses “Ozone Depleting ” chemicals. If you are
throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified service technician. If you intentionally
release any refrigerants you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
environmental regulations.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.

The freezer should always be plugged into it’s own
individual electrical circuit, which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading building wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power 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 end.

When removing the freezer away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! TRUE will not warranty any freezer that has been connected to an
adapter plug.

North America Use Only!

NEMA plugs

TRUE uses these types of plugs.

If you do not have the right outlet

have a certifi ed electrician install

the correct power source.

115/60/1
NEMA-5-15R

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not warranty any freezer that has been connected to
an extension cord.
