ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

!WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your freezer’s’s safety mechanisms are operating correctly.

•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 power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with

current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles

protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.

• 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 household 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.

• Unplug the freezer before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

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

Other Precautions

•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 the light bulb or other electrical components.

!WARNING

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