Electrical Connection
Refer to the amperage data list in the SPECIFICATIONS
or the serial tag data and your local code or the
National Electrical Code to be sure the unit is
connected to the proper power source. A protected
circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be
run for connection of the supply cord or permanent
connection to the unit. The power must be turned
off and disconnected whenever performing
maintenance or repair functions.
Permanently connected units must be connected
in accordance with NEC Article 422 Appliances,
C-Disconnecting means. It is the responsibility of
the end user to provide the disconnect means to
satisfy the authority having jurisdiction.
The power cords supplied with this equipment are three-pronged
plugs and must be connected to a three-pronged wall outlet for
proper grounding. Do not use an adapter to connect to a two-
pronged outlet. The three pronged-outlet provides a ground
connection which must be used to prevent a shock hazard.
Have the wall outlet checked by a qualified
electrician to be sure a proper ground is present
and that the outlet provides the correct voltage and
required amperage to match the rating plate.
Any power cord that is frayed or damaged should be replaced.
When disconnecting the unit from the power source, do not pull
on the wire. Firmly grip the plug and remove from outlet.
The plugs shown in Figure 3 are used on the various models.

Power Switch
Select units are equipped with a power disconnect switch located
next to the energy saver switch and thermostat control knob. Switch
must be in the “on” position for the unit to operate. On freezers, if
the switch is turned off, then returned to the on position, the unit
will enter a defrost cycle and the display will read “Def.”
