Electrical Requirements
Before you move your freezer into its final location, it is important
to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the Temperature Control to the OFF
position as shown and then disconnect the freezer from the
electrical source.
