Customer shouldhave the circuit chec,kedby a qual-ified electrician to make sure thereceptacle is properly grounded.When disconnectingthe powercordfromthe adapter,always holdthe adapter with one hand. If thisis not done, the adapter groundterminal is very likely to breakwith repeated use.Should the adapter groundterminal break, DO NOT USE theappliance until a proper groundhasagain been established.Becauseof potential safety hazardsunder certain conditions, we stronglyrecommend against the use of anextension cord. However, if you stillelect to use an extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a ULlisted3-wiregroundingtype applianceextension cord having a groundingtype plug and outlet and that theelectrical rating of the cord be 15amperes (minimum) and 120volts.Such extensioncords are obtainablethroughyourlocalsetviceorganization.The freezershould alwaysbe pluggedintoitsownindividualelectricaloutlet—(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.Some models are also rated 100volt,50 Hertz. Checkthe model and serialnumber plate.)This is recommended for best perfor-mance and to prevent overloadinghouse wiring circuits, which couldcause a possible fire hazard fromoverheating wires.Freezer InstallationFor most efficient operation, yourfreezer should not be located whereair temperature around the freezeris ever higher than llO° F.or colderthan 32° F.Upright freezers take approxi-mately half the floor space requiredfor chest type freezers and there-fore can mote readily be placed inyour kitchen.
