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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE FREEZER
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous…even
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
■
Take off the doors.
■
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior to
product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
