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, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with 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. 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. Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components. 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.
