IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding
plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. The
appliance
should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that has been crimped, shows cracks or has
frayed insulation abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the
appliance
, be careful not to
damage the power cord.
Power Surges
Connecting the unit to the incorrect voltage or oversized circuit protection (i.e. a breaker rated for over 20 amps) is not
covered by the appliance warranty. Neither is a damaged power cord, using unauthorized electrical components and/or
modifying the units wiring.
It is recommended that the appliance circuit doesn’t incorporate either a GFI breaker or outlet.
Any complications created by use of a GFI are not covered by the unit’s warranty as they are prone to inadvertently tripping
off to often.
Refrigerant Disposal
If you are throwing away your old appliance it may have a cooling system that uses “Ozone Depleting” chemicals. Make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified service technician.
Appliance Disposal
Follow and comply with all applicable codes and ordinances, cut the plug off the electrical power cord, remove the
door(s) and discard the shelving. This prevents misuse of the unit after its been scrapped.
