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

do it safely. Please read the enclosed
safety booklet from the Association of
Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help
prevent accidents.

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:
l
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
to the Electrical Requirements and Grounding
