Before the refrigerator is used, it must be properly positioned and
installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the
refrigerator, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an
adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
•
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator, be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
•
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power
line of the unit is disconnected.
•
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
