IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• This freezer must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before

it is used.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the freezer. They could damage the

freezer and seriously injure themselves.

• After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are damp or

wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

• Unplug the freezer before cleaning, making repairs or changing the light bulb.

NOTE:

 We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

• Turning the control to the 

OFF

 position does not remove power to the light circuit on models with interior

light.

• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
• The maximum amount of food your freezer is designed to freeze at one time is approximately 3 pounds

(1.5 kg) per cubic foot of freezer capacity. In normal position, your freezer’s temperature control will
maintain sufficiently low temperatures in the freezer to freeze recommended quantities of food.

• Caution should be used when removing the door of a freezer. Particular caution should be used when

removing the lid of a Chest freezer, as most Chest freezer lids are under spring tension. Contact the
manufacturer’s representative for a method of safe removal.
