SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proper Disposal of

Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator

WARNING

Suffocation Hazard

Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still dangerous ... even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old freezer or refrigerator:

Take off the doors or lid.

■

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily

■

climb inside.

Unpacking

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install freezer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Removing packaging materials

Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning

■

on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.

Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable

■

fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more information, see the “Freezer Safety” section.

NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a 3 in. (7.5 cm) clearance at the top and sides and a ¹⁄₄ in. (0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances.

3" (7.5 cm)

When MovingYour Freezer:

Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur.

Cleaning before use

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in the “Freezer Care” section.

Location Requirements

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from freezer.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Electrical Requirements

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or electrical shock.

Recommended grounding method

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall below 40°F (5°C).

Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.

Allow at least 3 in. (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides of the freezer and 1 in. (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall. If the freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can open wider.
