When you install ... 

To avoid fire, electric shock, and injury.

 Do not install the refrigerator in a place 

    where it may come in contact with water.

Do not install the refrigerator in a place exposed to rain.

 This may impair electricity insulation and 

    cause electric shock or fire.

 Do not connect the refrigerator plug 

    to any wall outlet whose power capacity 

    is less than the refrigerator's. Also, 

    do not use power sources that are not 

    a rated voltage.

 If a power source is shared with other 

    appliances using double or multipoint 

    adapters, the adapter may heat up 

    beyond the normal level and cause fire.

■ Do not use a damaged or loose 

    power plug or power outlet. This 

    may cause fire or electric shock.

■ Do not cut, bend, fold 

    the power cord to avoid 

    fire and electric shock.

■ Do not insert or remove 

    the power plug with wet hands.

■ Do not splash water on or inside 

    the refrigerator.

● 

This may impair electricity insulation 

    causing electric shock or fire.

●  This may also cause the gas leakage 

     because of pipe rust.

■ Do not disassemble, repair, 

    or modify your refrigerator by 

    yourselves.

●  

Please consult with a retailer 

    if any repair is required.

■ If the supply cord is damaged, 

    it must be replaced by the manufacturer, 

    its service agent or similarly 

    qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

■ Do not put water containers or foreign 

    articles on the top of the refrigerator.

●  

Opening and closing doors etc. 

    may cause the articles on the top 

    of the refrigerator may fall down, resulting in injury.

■ Do not use the refrigerator in the 

    atmosphere of flammable gas.

●  

Sparks from points of electrical 

    contacts such as door switches 

    may ignite a fire.

■ Be sure to unplug the power 

    plug before maintaining the 

    refrigerator.

●  Be sure to hold the power plug to unplug.

■ Clean the dust on the power plug 

    frequently with a dry cloth.

● 

Unplug the power plug and wipe it 

   with a dry cloth.

● 

An insulation failure due to moisture, when dust 

   collects on the power plug, may cause fire.

■ Connect the power plug firmly to a 

    power outlet with the cord running down.

Connection of the power plug with the 

   cord running up could apply stress on 

   the cord and cause electrical short or overheat, 

   which could result in electrical shock or fire.

Incomplete connection of the power plug 

   could result in electrical shock or fire due to heat.
