WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:
This fl'eezer must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the Installation
Instruct.ions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the ti'eeze_: They could damage
the fi'eezer and seriously iqiure thelnselves.
_Mter your ti'eezer is in operation, do not touch
tile cold sufli_ces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely
cold stlrtilces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
\:q)o_s and liquids in the vicinity oI this or any
other appliance,
Unph,g the fl'eezer before cleaning, making
repafis or changing the light bulb.
NOTE: We stronglyrecommendthat anyservicingbe
performedbya quafifiedindividual
Turning tile control to tile OFFposifion does
not remove power to the light circuit on models
with interior light,
Do not refi'eeze fl'ozen fi)ods which have
thawed completely:
Tile inaxilnum amount of t0od pmr fi'eezer is
designed to fl'eeze at one time is appro_mately
3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic t0ot of fl'eezer
capaci_:. In nomml position, yore" fl'eezer's
teml)erature control will maintain stflticienflv
low temperatures in tile fl'eezer to fl'eeze
recommended quantifies of food.
Caution should be used when removing the door
ofa fi'eezet: Particular caution sho/fld be used
when rein oving the lid of a Chest ti'eeze_; as m ost
Chest ti'eezer lids are under spring tension.
Contact tile nlanulilcturer's representative for
a m eth od of sale removal.

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEFREEZER
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:
Child entrapnlent and sufl'ocation are not
i)mblems of the past.Junked or abandoned
refi_gerato_ and ffeeze_ are still dangerous...even
if they will sit for "just a few da_:s." If you are getting
rid of your old refl_igerator or fl'eeze_; please tbll_w
the instructions below to hel I) prevent accidents.
Before YouThrowAway YourOld
RefrigeratororFreezer:
Take off the cloo_.
I,eave the shelves in place so that children max
not easiE climb inside.
CFCDisposal
Ymr old fl'eezer has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to
halIIl stratosphei{c ozone.
If you are throwing away your old fl'eeze_; make
sm'e the CFC refrigerant is removed tot proper
disposal by a qualified se_Mcer. If you inmntionally
release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
Federal Clean Mr Act.
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
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 necessm T that it be a UIAisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3 "
-xm'e ,gr°tmdim*_ _pe appliance extension cord haxim*_ a ,gr°tmding,
_])e plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 xolts.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONSBEFOREUSING.
A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under anv circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safely this appliance must be properly grounded.
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard %prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked bv a
qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet is
properly grounded.
If tile outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it
is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
Tile fl'eezer should always be I)lw*ged_, into its own
indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
This provides tile best periom/ance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring, circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your fl'eezer by pulling on tile power
cord. _Mways grip I)lt/_*_fimfl) and pull straight, ()/It
fl'om tile outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
rise a cord that shows CI'_lCkS oi" abi'asion dall/age
ahmg its length or at either end.
_._]/en moving tile ti'eezer away fl'oln tile wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Ad_pte_plug_,otpe_mittedinConada)
Because of potential safely hazards under certain conditions, we strongly" recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
Howe\'et; if )_m must use an adapter; where local
codes pemfit, a temporary connection ma) be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet l)v use
of a UiAisted adapter a\_filable at most local
hardware stores.
Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile linger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper
polari V in tile connection of tile power cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tile
a(lapte_; always hold tile adapter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord plug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter gro/md
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If tile adapter ground temfinal breal<s, DO NOT USE
tile fl'eezer until a proper ground has been
established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the ckcuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make
sure the oufiet is proper/y groundecL

The fl'eezer must be solidly positioned on the floor
if it is to flmcfion at its best. Shims may be used to
accomplish this wherever the floor is too tlneven.
If the place selected for the fl'eezer is damp or
moist, place 2 X 4's (51 mm X 102 ram) trader its
