RECOGNIZE SAFETY SYMBOLS, WORDS, LABELS

DANGER – Immediate hazards which WILL result in severe personal injury or death.

WARNING – Hazards or unsafe prac- tices which COULD result in severe personal injury or death.

CAUTION – Hazards or unsafe prac- tices which COULD result in minor personal injury.

To reduce risk of injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers are still dangerous – even if they sit out for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of your old freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so children

may not easily climb inside.

To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your freezer, follow these basic precautions, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using the freezer.

2. Observe all local codes and ordinances.

3. Be sure to follow grounding instructions.

4. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure this appliance is properly grounded.

5. DO NOT ground to a gas line.

6. DO NOT ground to a cold-water pipe.

7. Freezer is designed to operate on a 115 Volt, 15 amp., 60 cycle line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving this appliance only.

8. DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not fit electrical outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

9. DO NOT use a two-prong adapter, extension cord or power strip.

10. DO NOT remove warning tag from power cord.

11. DO NOT tamper with freezer controls.

12. DO NOT service or replace any part of freezer unless specifically recommended in Owner’s Manual or published user-repair instructions. DO NOT attempt service if instructions are not understood or if they are beyond personal skill level.

13. Always disconnect freezer from electrical supply before attempting any service. Disconnect power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
