Safety first

Child entrapment and suffocation are not things of the past. Junked or aban doned freezers are still dangerous...even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days."

If you are getting rid of your old freezer, do it safely. Please read the enclosed

safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help pre vent accidents.

Before you plug it in

IMPORTANT

Before using your freezer, you are personally re

sponsible for making sure that it...

• is installed and levelled on a floorthat will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• is connected only to the right kind of outlet, with the right electrical supply and grounding. (Refer to your "Electrical Requirements and Grounding Instructions.")

• is used only for jobs expected of home freezers.

• is not near an oven, radiator or other heat source.

• is properly maintained.

• is out of the weather.

• is used in an area where the room temperature will not exceed 110°F (43.3°C).

• is not run where there are explosive fumes.

• is not used by those who may not understand

how it should be used.

• is not loaded with food before it has time to get

properly cold.

Install properly...

1. Check the strength of the floor. It should hold the weight of a fully loaded freezer,

2 Pick a safe place, Indoors, away from In

flammables such as gasoline.

3, Allow 3 inches (7,5 cm] air space on top of freezer

for proper ventilation,

4, Allow at least an inch (2,5 cm) between the

freezer condenser, on the back of the unit, and the wall,

5, Allow '/2 inch (1,25 cm) on each side of the freezer

for ease of installation,

6, If the freezer is to be against a wall, you might

want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the door can be opened wider

7, The four bolts that held your freezer in the shipping

crate are designed to be the levelling legs. Screw

the legs far enough into the bolt holes, in each of

the four bottom oorners, so the freezer stands about 1 inch (2,5 cm) off the floor.

Remove sales labels...

Remove the Consumer Buy Guide label and any

inside labels before using the freezer. To remove any remaining glue:

1, Rub briskly with thumb to make a ball, then

remove,

2, Soak area with dishwashing detergent solution (1

teaspoon detergent in 1 quart warm water) be fore removing glue as described in step 1,

DO NOT USE rubbing alcohol or flammable or toxic solvents, such as acetone, gasoline, car bon tetrachloride, etc. These can damage the material.

NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE the Tech Sheet fas tened under the freezer at the front.
