Important safety information

Installation instructions

This appliance is equipped with a three- prong grounding plug for your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong- wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circum- stances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug.

4.Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) on all sides to allow for proper air circulation around the freezer.

5.If the freezer is to be against a wall, you might want to leave extra space on the hinge side so the lid can be opened wider.

7.The freezer must be level for proper operation.

8.DO NOT install the freezer on a car- peted floor.
