TEMPORARYMETHOD “
(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA) -
The Iargerslot inthe ada~ter must be
aligned-with the larger slot inthe wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:Attaching adapter

cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should
havethe circuit checked by aqual-
ified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Whendisconnectingthe power
cordfromtheadapter,always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the

Freezer Installation
Location
For most efficient operation, your
freezer should not be located where
air temperature around the freezer
isever higher than 1lO°F,or colder
than 32°17
Upright freezers take approxi-
mate yhalf the floor space required
for chest type freezers and there-
fore can more readily be placed in
your kitchen. Alocation next to the
refrigerator often is ideal, with the
refrigerator on the side nearer the
sink and range.
Be sure to install your freezer on
afloor strong enough to support it
when it is fuily loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Allow 4incheson top and3 inches

circulation.
