IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care
guide.
2. This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation
instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.
3. Never unplug freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Return appliance to
the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
5. Unplug freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that
a certified technician performs the service. Component parts shall be replaced
with like components and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service
personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or
improper service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting the freezer.
7. After the freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
8. Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: “…You may
safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if
they are still cold-below 40˚F.
“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any o-odor or o-color
should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The
food may be dangerous to eat … Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The
eating quality of red meats is aected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you
can.”
NOTE: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period
of time, wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

SAFETY INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to
a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the [tool/appliance] is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
connected to the [tool/appliance] – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED [TOOL/APPLIANCE] RATED LESS
THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY
CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected
to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a
temporary adaptor is not recommended.
