Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
freezer, follow basic precautions including the following:

do it safely. Please read the enclosed
safety booklet from the Association of

with, or crawl inside the freezer.

Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.

OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIGUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN

your freezer:

is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold
the weight, and in an area suitable for its size
and use.

the right electrical supply and grounding. (Refer
