Safety Precautions
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN
USING YOUR UPRIGHT FREEZER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
Read all instructions before using the appliance.
Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard. Do not use an exces-
sively wet cloth, industrial solvents, and oil-based products to clean this appliance.
To clean the upright freezer, use only mild detergents. Never use harsh chemicals or solvents.
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli-
ance. The fumes can create a fire hazard.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Ensure the upright freezer is unplugged before cleaning or if not in use
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Use the upright freezer only for its intended function. This appliance is designed for household, non-commercial
use only. Any other use will void the warranty.
Do not plug this upright freezer into the power source before setup is completed.
An empty upright freezer can be dangerous for children and small animals. If disposing of the upright freezer,
remove gaskets, latches, and the entire upright freezer door from your unused appliance so that children or
small animals cannot be trapped inside.
The upright freezer is an electrical appliance. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not operate the
upright 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.
Make sure the power plug is placed fully and firm into the power source. 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 upright 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 upright 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.

Safety Precautions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-
prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. Where a
standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter. The freezer should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best perfor-
mance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the freezer
away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord
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.
Transport the appliance in an upright position only.
Always place the appliance on even and hard and level surface.
Close the freezer door 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.
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 freezer upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet
are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these
extremely cold surfaces
Do not move this freezer without securing the door in a closed and latched position.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely
Performance may vary based on operational and ambient conditions.
THE MANUFACTURER DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
