IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This freezer must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang 
on the shelves in the freezer. They could damage
the freezer and seriously injure themselves.
After your freezer is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are 
damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely
cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Unplug the freezer before cleaning, making
repairs or changing the light bulb.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Turning the control to the OFF position does 
not remove power to the light circuit on models
with interior light.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have 
thawed completely.
The maximum amount of food your freezer is
designed to freeze at one time is approximately 
3 pounds (1.5 kg) per cubic foot of freezer
capacity. In normal position, your freezer’s
temperature control will maintain sufficiently 
low temperatures in the freezer to freeze
recommended quantities of food.
Caution should be used when removing the door
of a freezer. Particular caution should be used
when removing the lid of a Chest freezer, as most
Chest freezer lids are under spring tension.
Contact the manufacturer’s representative for 
a method of safe removal.
