SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
i)::This fl'eezer must be properly installed and
located in accordance with tile Installation
Instructions before it is used.
i)::Do not allow children to climb, st;rod or hang
on the shelves in the ti'eeze_: They could damage
tile fi'eezer and seriously iqiure thelnselves.
::__Mtei"your ti'eezer is in operation, do not touch
the cold suHi_ces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely
cold sun'aces.
_'_Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q)o_s and liquids in the viciniQ' ot this or any
other appliance.
i)::Unplug tile ti'eezer before cleaning, making
repairs or changing the light bulb.
NOTE: We stronglyrecommendthat anyservicingbe

::_¢Turning tile control to tile OFFposifion does
not remove power to the light circuit on models
with interior light.
i)::Do not refi'eeze ti'ozen foods which have
thawed complemly:
i)::The maximum amount of t0od your fi'eezer is
designed to ti'eeze at one time is approximately
3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic t0ot (ff ti'eezer
capaci£:. In no_mal position, your freezer's
temperature control will maintain sttflidentlv
low temperatures in tile ti'eezer to ti'eeze
recommended quantifies ()flood.
::NCaution should be used when removing tile door
ofa fi'eeze_: Particular caution should be used

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutel) necessary that it be a UIAisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-_ire grotmding t}pe appliance extension cord haxing a grotmding
t},l)e plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 xolts.

WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 9)-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibiliQ' of electi'ic shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked bv a
qualified electi'ician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If tile outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it
is your i)ei_onal responsibiliQ, and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded S-prong
wall outlet.
Tile fl'eezer should always be I)lu'*ged_, into its own
indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage iv_dng
that matches the rating plate.
This provides tile best i)eil'om/ance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wii-ing, circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Preparingtoinstall the freezer.
Read these instructionscompletely and carefully.
FreezerLocation
Yore" fl'eezer should be conveniently located for
day-to-day use in a dr,v, well-ventilated room.
Do not install the fl'eezer where the temperatm'e
will go below O°F or above l ] O°K because it will
not maintain proper temperatures.
Be sm'e to install yore" fl'eezer on a floor strong
enough to support it when it is flfllv loaded.
The fl'eezer must be solidly positioned on the floor
if it is to flmction at its best. Shims may be used to
accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven.
If the place selected for the fl'eezer is damp or
moist, place 2 X 4's (51 mm X 102 ram) trader its
entire length to assm'e adequate support.
