FRIGIDAIRE 297298800 - Manual (Page 3)

Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after the freezer
is unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers,
and can quickly cause suffocation.
Proper Disposal of your Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned freezers or freezers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old freezer or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old freezer.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/
freezer:
• Remove
doors.
• Leave shelves in place so
children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed
by a qualifi ed service
technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that
safety mechanisms in this freezer will operate properly.
IMPORTANT
To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or
switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to
the off position.
Electrical Information
• The freezer must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only
electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance
is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three prong receptacle. The receptacle must
be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualifi ed electrician. Avoid
connecting freezer to a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or
adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced
by an authorized service technician to prevent any
risk.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug fi rmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power
cord.
• Unplug the freezer before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the freezer with insuffi cient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
freezer from being turned off accidentally.
