BEFOREUSE
The larger slot inthe adapter mustbe
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should
have the circuit checked by a qual-
ified electricianto makesure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthe power
cordfromthe adapter,
alwayshold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapterground
terminal break,
DONOTUSEthe
appliance until a proper ground
hasagain been established.

Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions,we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. Howeverj if you still
elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessarythat it be a l.JL
listed3-wiregroundingtypeappliance
extension
cordhavinga grounding
type plug and outlet andthat the
electrical rating ofthe cord be 15
amperes(minimum) and 120volts.
Such extensioncordsareobtainable

be pluggedintoitsown

(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.
Some models arealso rated 100voit,
50 Hertz. Checkthe modelandserial
number plate.)
This isrecommended for best perfor-
mance and to prevent overloading
house wiring circuits, which could
cause a possible fire hazardfrom
overheating wires.
Freezer installation
Location
Yourfreezer should be conven-
iently located for day-to-day use
in a dry, well-ventilated room.
For most efficient operation, it
should not be located where air
temperature around the freezer is
ever higher than llO°F. or colder
than 32°F.
Be sure to install your freezer on
a floor strong enough to support it
when it is
fully loaded.
The freezer must be solidly
positioned
on the floor if it is to
function at its best. Shims maybe
used to accomplish this wherever
the floor is too uneven.

Statiing
1. Clean the inside of the freezer
with a mild solution of baking soda
and water (see page 10).
2. Connect cord to power outlet.
3. Turn temperature control to
No. 1.This is the normal setting
for safe long-term freezing. For
colder temperatures, turn-to
higher numbers.
m
4. Allow freezer to operate for at —
least two hours before placing food
inside.
TemperatureControl
Freezing temperature selection is
made by setting control from No. 1
to No. 9 (coldest).
Normal safe freezing level is ob-
tained bysetting the control at No. 1.
Temperature control has no OFF
setting. This prevents the freezer
from being turned off accidentally.
