Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the
power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an
authorized service center.
Never ground the unit through a gas, heating, or tap water pipe or the grounded
wire of a single-phase power supply.
Electrical Connection
This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~ 60Hz three-prong grounded
electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the appliance and not
left exposed or dangling.
Do not use an extension cord.
The appliance should always be plugged into an exclusive, properly grounded wall
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading wiring circuits that could
cause a fire hazard from overheating. Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. 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 appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
Clean the unit before using it, and be sure it is level.
Turning On the Freezer
•
After moving the unit, let it stand for at least 30 minutes before plugging it in.
•
Connect the unit to a power supply. Be sure the door is closed. Flick the light switch
on the back of the cabinet to be sure the power connection is active. After about an
hour and a half, the temperature inside the cabinet should be suitable for normal
use, but in any case, keep the unit empty for at least an hour after power is
connected.
The temperature control and the interior light switch are both located on the back of the
cabinet.
•
The temperature should be adjusted according to ambient temperature and the food
items being stored. As you can see from the illustration on page 5, the temperature
control can be adjusted on a scale of
1
through
5
, with
5
being the coldest setting.
(The control is set at
3
at the factory.)
•
The control should be set at an appropriate position before the appliance is used,
