Danby DCF1014WE Freezer User Manual


 
If your electricity goes off follow this procedure:
• Call your power company to see how long the power will be out.
• If service is to be interrupted for less than 24 hours, keep freezer closed. This will help food stay
frozen.
• If service is to be interrupted for more than 24 hours, either remove food and store in frozen food
locker or another freezer.
• Replace or repair all electric service cords that have become damaged or frayed.
• Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.
• Be careful not to roll over or damage the cord, when moving the freezer.
• Unplug your freezer before making repairs or cleaning. It is our recommendation that servicing be
done by a qualified technician.
• Unplug your freezer or turn power off at the circuit breaker or fuse box in order to avoid touching a live
wire, when replacing a burned-out light bulb. Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor,
but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.
Your dealer is responsible for unpacking your freezer properly. Should any evidence
of mishandling be present, contact him immediately.
Installation Requirements:
• A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC 15 or 20 ampere fused and properly
grounded electrical supply (for personal safety) is required.
• Refer to the serial plate for the correct electrical rating.
• A separate circuit used only by this appliance is recommended.
* DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
* DO NOT CUT, REMOVE OR BYPASS THE GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
• To prevent the freezer from being turned off accidentally,
do not plug unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• If voltage varies by 10 % or more, the performance of the freezer may be affected. Operating the
freezer with insufficient power can damage the motor. The warranty does not cover this damage.
If you suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
Picking a Location:
• Locate the freezer so that extension cords are not necessary and the freezer is away from any
flammables such as gasoline.
• Make sure that the floor you choose to place your freezer on will support the weight of the freezer
when it is full.
