WARNING: ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD 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. • It is strongly recommended that the unit not be used with a power outlet that is equipped with GFCI protection. Use of Extension Cord • 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 3slot 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. Install Limitations • 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. 5
