Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety hazards
under
certa;n conditions, we strongly
recommend against use of an adapter
plug.
However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded
tw~prong
wall receptacle by use of
a
UL
listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
at most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE
The Iarger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should
have the circuit checked by a qual-
ified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter,
always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.

Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still
elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a
UL
listed 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.
Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
The freezer should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical
outlet—
(115 volt, 60 Hertz, single phase
AC.
Some models are also rated
100volt,
50 Hertz. Check the model and serial
number plate. )
This is recommended for best perfor-
mance and to prevent overloading
house wiring circuits, which could
cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.

Installation
Location
For most efficient operation, your
freezer should not be located where
air temperature around the freezer
is ever higher than 110°
F,
or colder
than 32° F.
Upright freezers take approxi-
mately half the floor space required
for chest type freezers and
there
fore can more readily be placed in
your kitchen. A location next to the
refrigerator often is ideal, with the
refrigerator on the side nearer the
sink and range.
Be sure to install your freezer on
a floor strong enough to support it
when it is fully loaded.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Clearances
Allow 4 inches on top and 3 inches
at sides and back for proper air
circulation.
Adjustable Legs
Turn left to
ralae–
right to lower
Legs at the front corners of the
freezer should beset so the freezer
is firmly positioned on the floor, and
the front
is
raised just enough so
the door closes easily when opened
about halfway.
Operating Your
Freezer
Starting
1.
Clean the inside of the freezer
—
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water (see page 10).
2. Connect cord to power outlet.
3. Turn temperature control to
No. 4. This is the normal setting
for safe long-term freezing. For
colder temperatures, turn to
higher numbers.
4. Allow freezer to operate for at
least two hours before placing food
inside.
Temperature Control
Freezing temperature selection is
made by setting control from No. 1
to No. 7 (coldest).
Normal safe freezing level is
ob
–
tained
by setting the control at No. 4.
OFF position permits turning freezer
off without unplugging
it.
