• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (oven, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct
sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
Extremely cold ambient temperatures may also affect the unit's performance.
• Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly
on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the freezer compartment.
• Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or authorized
service center.
Electrical Connection
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a
three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115-volt AC/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. Have the
wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or
dangling.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately any power cord that has become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
