– Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-

USAGEOF ADAPTERPLUG
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter~plug. However, if you still elect to use
anadapter,where local codes permit, aTEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adapter which is avail-
able at most local hard-
ware stores (Fig.2).The
largerslot in the adapter
must be aligned with
the larger slot in the

, and not in-
sulated, and wall receptacle is grounded thro~gh
house wiring. Customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adap-
ter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this hap-
pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
2.
THE FREEZER SHOULD ALWAYS ‘BE PLUGGED
INTO ITS OWN INDMDUAL IELECTRICAL OUTLET’
(115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase AC).
This is recom-
mended for best performance and to prevent over-
loading hbuse wiring circuits, which could cause a
possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of poten-
tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an exten-
sion cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance exten-
sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15 amperes minimum. Such ex-
tensioncords areobtainablethrough your localservice
organization.
3. Repair or replace immediately all ekctric ser-
vice 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 the
plug or connector end.
4. Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the
power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
5. After your freezer k in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are damp
or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold
surfaces.
6. D(3 not operate your freezer in lhe pwxxxwe of
explosive fumes.
