IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it 

is your personal responsibility and obligation to

have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong

wall outlet.
The freezer should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out

from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.
When moving the freezer away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS 

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against 
the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a 

temporary connection 

may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use 

of a UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plug with the

other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, 

DO NOT USE

the freezer until a proper ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
