•Refer to the serialplate for correct electrical rating.

The power cord of the appiiance is equipped with a three prong plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly groundedthree prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp timedelay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.

Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Interrupters (GFI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN

EXTENSION CORD OR ADAPTER PLUG.

•If voltage varies by 10% or more, freezer performance may be affected. Operating 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 accidentically, do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

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

Other Precautions

•To defrost freezer, always unplug unit first.

•Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the cord.

Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle.

•Turning the temperature control to OFF turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

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.

FIRST STEPS

This Owner’s Guide provides specific operating instruc- tions for your model. Use the freezer only as instructed in this Owner’s Guide. Before starting the freezer, follow these important first steps.

Installation

•Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•For the most efficient operation, the freezer should be located where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110°F (43°C). Temperatures of 32°F (0°C) 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 (75 mm) space on all sides of the freezer for adequate circulation.

NOTE: The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much as 30° F warmer than room temperature can be expected. For this reason it is particu- larly important in hotter climates to allow enough space for air circulation around your freezer.

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. NOTE: 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 may be misaligned and not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems.

To Level Upright Models:

After discarding crating screws and wood base, use a car- penter’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.
