ATTENTION
ELECTRICAL RATING
The “serial rating plate” indicates the voltage and frequency the freezer is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a separate fuse circuit from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fluctuation which might cause motor trouble.
GROUNDING 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. 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.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your freezer to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.
IMPORTANT WARNING
An empty 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.
DON’T WAIT DO IT NOW!
Installation
Location
Points to consider when locating your freezer:
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 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. Do not operate freezer when surrounding air temperature is below 0°C.
However, it will not harm freezer to stand in any temperature below 0°C 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. (2 or 3 2 x 4’s under entire length will assure adequate support).
Operation
Starting the Freezer
The freezer is ready to operate as received when connected to the power supply. After starting, close lid and allow freezer to operate. The unit will run from 1 to 2 hours (possibly longer, depending on conditions) before operating temperature is reached. It will then start and stop (cycle) at fairly regular intervals. It is recommended that food should not be placed in freezer until you are satisfied that it is operating regularly and no final adjustments are necessary.
Once your freezer is starting and stopping (cycles) regularly, it is ready to freeze and store foods. The proper food storage temperature is
In view of the value of the contents of your freezer, it is advisable to inspect contents and operation regularly.
