Electrical Requirements
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps) with
proper grounding to power the freezer.
WARNING: Avoid the use of three prong adapters. NEVER cut off the third
grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. Cutting off the
grounding prong is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding
for the refrigerator and may result in serious injury from electrical shock.
Installation
Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation on14 It should not be
recessed or built-in. Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded. When moving the freezer, never tilt it by more than a 45 degrees angle. This
could damage the compressor and the sealed system.
tf the freezer has been tilted more than 45 degrees, let it stand in an upright
position for at least 24 hours prior to plugging it into the power source. This
will allow the refrigerant to settle and reduce the possibility of a malfunction in
the cooling system.
Plug the freezer into an exclusive, properly installed grounded wall outlet. Do not
plug another appliance into the same outlet as the freezer.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from
the power cord. See the WARNING in Electrical Requirements on the previous
page. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed
toward a certified electrician or a Sears or other qualified service dealer
After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for
24 hours before placing food into the freezer.

heated, such as a garage, etc. Your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature
