I_III ['LUG
DO NOT REMOVE GROUND PLUG UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD.
For your safety and protection, the Kenmore
freezer is equipped with a spedal three:termi'nal
type grounciing plug on the electrical cord. It
must be ptuggea into its own properly grounded
three-prong outletql5 volt, 60 Hertz, protected
with a I5 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker°
Do not plug the freezer into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord which might be
turned off accidentally,
If the electrical outlet you intend to use will not
accept the tbxee-prong plug, or if you are not sure
the outlet is adequately grounded, you should
have a properly grounded three-prong outlet
installed according to the National Electrical Code
by a qualified electridan.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the cord_
Alway_s grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Ice cream is a good indicator for adjusting freezer temperatures_ Ice cream should be firm.. If it is too soft, turn the cold
control to a higher number. If ice cream is too hard and brick like turn the cold control to a lower number.. After a few
days you may want to "fine tune" the cold control for the best temperature,
