GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read all of the instructions before using this appli-
ance. When using this appliance, always exercise
basic safety precautions, including the following:
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.
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 your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector
end.
5. Unplug your 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.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in
defrosting your freezer.
7. If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove
the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8.
WARNING: After your 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.
9. Do not refreeze foods, which 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 off-odor or
off-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.”
1

“…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.
10. This freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed
cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11. Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER

materials before powering on the freezer.
• Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only.
It should not be recessed or built-in.
• Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
• When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle.
This could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
• If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24
hours prior to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle.
• To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it
was designed for, you should install it in a location where there
is proper air circulation, plumbing and electrical connections.
• The following are recommended clearances around the freezer:
Sides……………4” (102mm)

Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps
outlet) with proper grounding to power the freezer.
• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding
in order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and
may result in shock hazard.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety haz-
ards under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of
the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rat-
ing of the appliance. DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD LONGER
THAN 12 FT.
• Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or
heated e.g. garage etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even
surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,
baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness
should be corrected.
