TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN
USING YOUR PORTABLE FREEZER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
An empty portable freezer can be dangerous for children and small animals. If disposing of the portable freeze,
remove gaskets, latches, lids, and the entire freezer door from your unused appliance so that children or small
animals cannot be trapped inside.
The portable freezer is an electrical appliance. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not operate the
freezer with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface, or while standing in water.
To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used in bathrooms, shower rooms, or in any other
steamy or wet areas.
During installation, the power supply must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.
Do not tamper with controls.
For AC power connection, make sure the power plug is placed firmly into a grounded power outlet that can sup-
port the maximum power consumption. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or
protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install an outlet that is appropriate to
local electrical codes and requirements.
Do not use multiple socket or an extension cord as it may overheat and become a risk of fire. Please ensure that
the freezer is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the unit and should not be left exposed or dangling
Make sure the power plug is clean before usage.
Make sure hands are dry when connecting the power plug. The appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounded plug on the power cord for your protection. Never modify, remove or attempt to repair the power plug
yourself.
Never pull the power cord to disconnect the unit from an outlet. Grasp the plug directly and pull it from the outlet.
Never lift or carry the freezer by the power cord.
Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
Do not repair, disassemble and/or modify the appliance by yourself.
Always turn off the appliance when cleaning or transporting.
Transport the appliance in an upright position only.
Always place the appliance on even and hard and level surface.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
When positioning the portable freezer, ensure that there is at least a 6” clearance at the sides of the portable
freezer. This will allow for adequate ventilation of heat from the back of the freezer
Close the freezer lid immediately after putting in any items to maintain the internal temperature of the unit
Avoid placing the freezer near external heat sources or direct sunlight
Do not expose this appliance to rain or excessive moisture
Make sure the freezer is placed on a flat, level, and solid surface.
Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
Do not turn the portable freezer upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.
Do not move this portable freezer without securing the lid in a closed and latched position
Performance may vary based on operational and ambient conditions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating label on the appliance. The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
or dangling to prevent accidental injury. This provides the best performance and also prevent overloading house
wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion dam-
age along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN
USING YOUR PORTABLE FREEZER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL -Listed, 3-
wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes and 115 volts. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electric shock,
or death.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
