SAFETY INFORMATION
9. 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 sh 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
… 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 affected 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 in an enclosed
cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11. Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
GAS WARNINGS
POWER SUPPLY CORD
The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The product is equipped
with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in
order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in shock hazard.
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualied electrician or serviceman to install an outlet
near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither W Appliance nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
