Electrical Safety
• Grounding Requirement: To reduce the risk of electrical shock in case of a short circuit, ensure the appliance is properly
grounded. An escape wire should be present for electrical current.
Child Safety Precaution
Caution - Hazardous Attraction: To prevent children from being entrapped, remove the door or lid from an unutilized freezer. Confirm
it's been rendered safe.
Risk of Entrapment: If disposing of a freezer:
• Detach the doors completely.
• Keep shelving units intact to prevent easy access for children.
Immediate Action Advised!
Fire and Explosion Risk
Warning - Potential for Explosion: Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Avoid using sharp objects during defrosting.
Preventive Measures:
• Store flammable materials like gasoline away from the freezer.
• Clean with non-flammable agents only.
Proper Disposal: Follow federal and local laws when disposing of the freezer.
Maintenance and Service
Component Replacement: Use identical components for replacement. Factory-authorized service personnel should perform services
to avoid ignition risks from incorrect parts or improper servicing.
Grounding Instructions
• Proper Connection: Your appliance should have a power cord with a grounding wire and plug. Connect it to a grounded outlet.
Warning - Electrical Shock Hazard:
Misuse of the grounding plug can lead to electric shock. Consult with a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions
are not understood or if there is doubt about the appliance being properly grounded.
Extension Cords: Avoid using an extension cord. The freezer should have a dedicated 115V electrical outlet. Do not connect other
appliances in the same outlet. Splicing the cord is prohibited.
