Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

IMPORTANT WARNING

An empty refrigerator/freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gasket or lid from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the ground- ing instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your refrigerator to exten- sion cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet.

DANGER: Risk off child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

•Take off the doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.

DON’T WAIT DO IT NOW!

Installation Instructions

LOCATION

Remove exterior and interior packaging, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the freezer 5 inches away from the wall.

1)Locate the freezer in such a manner that extension cords are not necessary.

2)Due to lid and hinge arrangement, it is impossible to install your freezer directly against the wall. The spacing on the back is essential for maintaining proper air circulation around the freezer.

3)Select a location with reasonable year round temperatures. We do not recommend operating the freezer when surrounding air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), though it will not harm the freezer to stand in any temperature below 0°C (32°F), provided the temperature control is set to avoid running the unit. In order to keep operating cost down, do not place freezer near a stove, furnace, heat register or in direct sunlight. If the place selected for your freezer is damp or moist, as in basements, place freezer on wooden blocks (two or three 2x4’s under entire length will ensure adequate support).
