Customer shouldhave the circuit checked by a qual-ified electrician to make sure thereceptacle is properly grounded.When disconnectingthe powercord from the 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 groundhas again been established.Wed extensioncordsBecause of potential safety hazardsunder certain conditions,we stronglyrecommend against the use of anextension cord. However,if you stillelect to use an extensioncord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a LJLlisted3-wiregroundingtypeapplianceextension cord having a groundingtype plug and outlet and that theelectrical rating of the cord be 15amperes (minimum) and 120volts.Such extensioncords are obtainablethroughyourlocalserviceorganization.The freezer slmdcfaiwaysbe pluggedinto itsownindividualelectricaloutlet—(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phaseAC.Some models are also rated IOOvolt,50 Hertz. Check the model and serialnumber p!ate.)This is recommended for best perfor-mance and to prevent overloadinghouse wiring circuits, which couldcause a possible fire hazard fromoverheating wires.Freezer InstallationLocationFor most efficient operation, yourfreezer should not be located whereair temperature around the freezeris ever higher than 1lO° F,or colderthan 32°17Upright freezers take approxi-mate y half the floor space requiredfor chest type freezers and there-fore can more readily be placed inyour kitchen.
