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 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.
WARNING
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this freezer will operate
properly.
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the freezer is equipped with at three-
prong grounding plug for protection against shock haz-
ards. It must be plugged directly in to its own properly
grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15
amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with the local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles
with 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 per-
formance 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
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 in to an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any
manner.
