The power cord of this appliance is equipped 
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates 
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet 
to minimize the possibility of electric shock 
hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it 
is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

The freezer should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have 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 freezer away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
