temperature controls to OFF
does not remove power to the
light circuit.

which have thawed completely.
e WARNING
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigeration products
are still dangerous - even if they will
sit for just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
- Take off the doors.
- Leave the shelves in place so
that children may not easily
climb inside.
Electrical Connection
The appliance comes with an UL
listed, 3Ćwire power supply cord.
The appliance requires a 3Ćwire
receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by
a licensed electrician only.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In
the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
Improper connection of the
equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have
the appliance checked by a qualified
electrician or service technician
if you are in doubt as to whether
the appliance has been properly
grounded.
Some local regulations may require
a seperate ground. In such cases,
the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be
purchased seperately.
Never ground the appliance to
plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or
water pipes.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old freezer may have a cooling
system that used CFC's
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFC's are
believed to harm stratospheric
ozone.
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release
this CFC refrigerant, you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
