We at Taylor are concerned about the safety of the operator when he or she comes in contact with the freezer and its parts. Taylor has gone to extreme efforts to design and manufacture built-in safety features to protect both you and the service technician. As an example, warning labels have been attached to the freezer to further point out safety precautions to the operator.

IMPORTANT -- Failure to adhere to the following safety precautions may result in severe personal injury. Failure to comply with these warnings may damage the machine and its components. Component damage will result in part replacement expense and service repair expense.
