SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ELECTRICAL INFORMATION These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer 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 your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFIC) are NOT RECOMMENDED. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. • If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your house hold voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing. • To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord. • Do not pinch, knot, or bend the cord in any manner. INSTALLATION This Owner's Guide provides specific operating instructions for your model. WUseAtRheRfrAeeNzeTrYonlIyNaFs OinsRtrMucAteTd IinOtNhis Owner's Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps. INSTALLATION • Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. • For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not drop below 40° F (5° C) or exceed 110° F (43° C). • Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and electrical connections: Sides 3/8" Back & Top 1" • Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper operation of your freezer. Refrigerator OTHER PRECAUTIONS • To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first. • Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle. NOTE Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components. WARNING Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord. Freezer Installation NOTE The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. DOOR OPENING NOTE If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider. FI3RST
