SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this 

appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the 

following:

1.  Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use  

and care guide.

2.  This freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the  

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the 

installation section.

3.  Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the  

plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4.  Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become  

frayed otherwise they will be damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or 

abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the connector end.

5.  Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs.  

Note:

  If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly  

recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6.  Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in  

defrosting your freezer.

7.  If your old freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the  

doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

8.  After your freezer is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the  

freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may  

adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

9.  Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United  

States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69  

reads: “…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they  

still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40˚F”. 

 

“…Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or 

off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream 

should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or  

questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.” 

 

“…Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods, 

particularly fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating  

quality of red meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen 

foods as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can.

10.  This freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed 

cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

11. Do not operate your freezer in the presence of explosive fumes.
