Forpersonal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with astandard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet tominimize the possibility of electric shock hazardfrom this appliance.Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by aqualified electrician to make sure the outlet isproperly grounded.If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, itis your personal responsibility and obligation tohave it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prongwall outlet.The freezer should always be plugged into its ownindividual electrical outlet which has a voltage ratingthat matches the rating plate.This provides the best performance and alsoprevents overloading house wiring circuits whichcould cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the powercord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight outfrom the outlet.Repair or replace immediately all power cords thathave become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do notuse a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damagealong its length or at either end.When moving the freezer away from the wall, becareful not to roll over or damage the power cord.USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS (Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend againstthe use of an adapter plug.However, if you must use an adapter, where localcodes permit, atemporary connection may be madeto a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by useof a UL-listed adapter available at most localhardware stores.The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned withthe larger slot in the wall outlet to provide properpolarity in the connection of the power cord.When disconnecting the power cord from theadapter, always hold the adapter in place with onehand while pulling the power cord plug with theother hand. If this is not done, the adapter groundterminal is very likely to break with repeated use.If the adapter ground terminal breaks,DO NOT USEthe freezer until a proper ground has beenestablished.Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outletcover screw does not ground the appliance unless thecover screw is metal and not insulated, and the walloutlet is grounded through the house wiring. You shouldhave the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to makesure the outlet is properly grounded.Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
