INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT... P1ease read carefully
How to Connect Electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped
with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize
the possibility of electric
shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential
safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly
recommend against use of
an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes
permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be
made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a
listed
adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the

with the larger slot the wall outlet to provide
proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has been established.
Use of Extension Cords
Electrical Requirements
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
The freezer should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the
plate. This is recommended for best performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
