CAUTION
•Pull the freezer straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring.
•Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

NOTE
Turning the freezer temperature control to “OFF” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your freezer, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
