If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by an authorized Avanti Products service center. This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. This freezer requires a standard 115Volts~/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground. The cord should be secured behind the freezer and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury. Never unplug the freezer by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Do not use an extension cord with this freezer. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the freezer. The “POWER” light indicates that the freezer is properly connected to the electrical power. The light indicates power supply, and will glow even if the temperature control dial is turned to “OFF”, or the compressor has failed to work and the compartment is not being cooled. • Extension Cord Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes. • SURGE PROTECTOR Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed. If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city / country is prone to power surges / outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices / appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area. Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer covered defect and will void your product warranty. 8 OPERATING YOUR FREEZER Temperature Control .
