Before your chest freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described
in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or
injury when using the chest freezer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains a small quantity of propane (R290) which is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it increase
the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up the appliance that no
parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
•
In the event of any damage:
o
Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark
o
Disconnect from the electrical power line
o
Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and
o
Contact the Service Department for advice
•
The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the event of
a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gasses building up.
The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the rating label on the appliance. It is hazardous
for anyone other than the Authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to the appliance.
•
Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
•
Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel so as
to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.
•
Replace all panels before operating.
•
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your chest freezer, be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
Never clean chest freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire
hazardor explosion.
