5. Connect your freezer to an independent power outlet. Make sure it is safely
grounded. The voltage should be limited to the range of 90V to 127V,
otherwise the motor will be damaged.
6. After a power outage, wait 5 minutes before turning the freezer on. Otherwise
the compressor may become damaged.
7. Always allow for proper air circulation to the back, sides and top of the unit.
Also, check that the packing base has been removed from the bottom of the
unit prior to operation.
8. Be sure to keep the electrical cable away from the compressor and
condenser, or its insulation could be damaged by high temperatures.
9. For best energy efficiency, open the freezer door as seldom as possible.
Frequent opening of the door requires extended compressor run time, which
increases energy consumption.
10. Clean the freezer after every defrost.
11. Do not touch frozen food with wet hands, as you may suffer frostbite.
12. Using an extension cord is not recommended.
13. Warning: Do not damage sealed systems, such as the refrigerant circuit.
14. Warning: Do not use electrical appliances inside the freezer.
15. Before disposing of the freezer at the end of its useful life, release the
refrigerant in the open air away from anything that could explode. Follow
local regulations in disposing of the unit.
16. Keep vents in the appliance or its enclosure open and clear of obstruction.
17. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
18. Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
