SET UP & USE
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet
near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use an extension cord, extreme care must be
exercised.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS WITH FREEZERS
Only use a grounded extension cord that is rated at least 15 amps and has a
third-wire ground. When a long extension cord is used to connect the freezer, a
voltage drop occurs. The longer the cord, the greater the voltage drop. This results in
less voltage being supplied to the freezer and increases the amount of current (amp)
draw or reduces performance. A heavier cord with a larger wire size will reduce the
voltage drop. Be sure to choose a cord that will supply enough voltage to operate
the freezer. The table below indicates appropriate gauge for extension cords.

WARNING: Keep electrical cords in good condition. Do not use worn, bare, or frayed
cords because they can cause electrical shock.
WARNING: Operating equipment at low voltage can cause it to overheat. Using an
excessively long extension cord can cause the cord to overheat.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to
the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical
