Electrical Information, Other Precautions

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate properly.

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from power cord.

•Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the freezer is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are

ANADAPTERPLUG.

•If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating the freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.

•To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

•Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

Other Precautions

•To defrost, always unplug unit first.

•Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

•Turning the control to “OFF” turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.

First Steps

Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.

Installation / Freezer Placement

•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet.

•The freezer should be located where surrounding temperature will not exceed 110ºF (43ºC). Temperatures of 32ºF (0ºC) and below will NOT affect freezer operation. Additional compressor heaters are not recommended.

•Allow space around the unit for good air circulation. Leave a 3 inch (75mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

3" AIR SPACE

Installation

Leveling

The freezer must have all bottom corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a fully loaded freezer. It is VERY IMPORTANT for your freezer to be level in order to function properly. If the freezer is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.

To level Upright Units:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a carpenter’s level to level the freezer from front to back. Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble higher, so that the door closes easily when left halfway open.
