WARNING!Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONSWhen using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:

This fl'eezer must be properly installed andlocated 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 damagethe fi'eezer and seriously iqiure thelnselves.

_Mter your ti'eezer is in operation, do not touchtile cold sufli_ces, particularly when hands are

damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremelycold stlrtilces.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable\:q)o_s and liquids in the vicinity oI this or anyother appliance,

Unph,g the fl'eezer before cleaning, making

repafis or changing the light bulb.

NOTE: We strongly recommendthat anyservicing beperformed by a quafified individual

Turning tile control to tile OFFposifion doesnot 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_mately3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic t0ot of fl'eezer

capaci_:. In nomml position, yore" fl'eezer'steml)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 doorofa fi'eezet: Particular caution sho/fld be used

when rein oving the lid of a Chest ti'eeze_; as m ost

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEFREEZERWhen using electrical appliances, basic safety precaufions should be followed, including the following:

Child entrapnlent and sufl'ocation are noti)mblems of the past.Junked or abandoned

refi_gerato_ and ffeeze_ are still dangerous...evenif they will sit for "just a few da_:s." If you are getting

rid of your old refl_igerator or fl'eeze_; please tbll_wthe instructions below to hel I) prevent accidents.

Before YouThrowAway YourOldRefrigerator or Freezer:

Take off the cloo_.

I,eave the shelves in place so that children maxnot easiE climb inside.

CFCDisposal

Ymr old fl'eezer has a cooling system that usedCFCs (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 inmntionallyrelease this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to

fines and imprisonment under provisions of theFederal Clean Mr Act.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDSBecause of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend againstthe 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 UnitedStates) 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!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITYDo 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 mateswith a standard %prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazardfl'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 tohave it replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prongwall 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 whichcould cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your fl'eezer by pulling on tile powercord. _Mways grip I)lt/_*_fimfl) and pull straight, ()/Itfl'om tile outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do notrise 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 properpolari V in tile connection of tile power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tilea(lapte_; always hold tile adapter in place with one

hand while pulling tile power cord plug with tileother 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 outletcover screw does not ground the appliance unless thecover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the waft

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould

have the ckcuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the oufiet is proper/y groundecL
