For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance. Read
product labels for flammability and other warnings.
Child Safety
•Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the appliance is unpacked. Children should
never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
•A child might suffocate if he crawls into the appliance to hide
or play. Remove the door/lid of the appliance when not in use,
even if you plan to discard the appliance. Many communities
have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.
Proper Disposal of Appliance
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents:
•Remove the door.
•Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
•Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate
properly.
•Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must
be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong
receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with
the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are
NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
•If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, appliance
performance may be affected. Operating the appliance with
insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is
not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is
high or low, consult your power company for testing.

Appliance Start-up
Once the appliance has been located in its permanent location
and the proper power and grounding has been provided, the
following items must be checked or completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the appliance to cool
down completely before loading with food. The appliance will
run continuously for the first several hours. Do not place any
food in the appliance until after the first 24 hours of operation.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory with the thermostat
set at about the mid-point of the operating range. Adjustments
colder or warmer can be made after the appliance has been
running for at least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for temperature
stabilization before re-adjusting the thermostat.

Wipe the cabinet exterior occasionally with a cloth dampened in
mild detergent and water. Rinse and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments that can
scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels.
Any glue left from the tape can be removed with a mixture of
warm water and mild detergent or touch the residue with the
sticky side of tape already removed. DO NOT REMOVE THE
SERIAL PLATE.
Condensate Pan
Some models have a condensate pan in a fixed position located
behind the toe grill. This must not be removed from under the
cabinet. If the pan is removed, condensate will drop onto the
floor.
POWER FAILURE
DO NOT open the appliance lid unnecessarily if the
appliance is off for several hours.
If a power failure occurs, pack seven or eight pounds of dry ice
into the appliance every 24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages
