circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical
current. This appliance is fitted
with a cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. This
plug must be plugged in to an
outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded.
The temperature control dial has
settings from "1"-"7". Where "1" is the
warmest and "7" is the coldest
temperature setting. Turn the control
knob to higher numbers for colder
temperatures.
During extremely hot weather and
frequent lid opening, it is advisable to
select a higher setting to ensure that
food remainsfrozen.

service centre if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood or if any doubt exist as
to whether the appliance is
properly grounded.
