IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the refrigerator is plugged in or 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 precaution, 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 recepta-
cles 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 explo-
sion. 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.
*
Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result
in electrical shock or death.
*
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically recom
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
*
Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
*
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely unob-
structed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16
°
C) and below 90°F (32°
C). This unit should be installed in an area protected from the direct elements, such as wind and
rain.
*
The refrigerator should not be located directly next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
*
The refrigerator must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance with
state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is required.
*
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of refrigerator.
*
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amps.

It is important for the refrigerator to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make
several adjustments to level it.

Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installations.
*
Check for leaks after connection.
*
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.

Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents of abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may dam-
age or discolor the interior.
