IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the freezer is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in
this manual, so read the manual carefully. We strongly recommend that you have a
professional install your new machine. The warranty may be affected or voided by an
incorrect installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the
freezer, follow basic precautions, including the following:
DANGER
l
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your freezer, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot
be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
l
Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.
l
The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate over-current
protection.
l
Ensure unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
l
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
l
Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
l
Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
l
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected.
l
Unplug the freezer or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical
shock or death.
l
If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, best to unplug the unit from the outlet.
l
After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could cause damage
to the compressor.
