Installation / Owner’s Manual 3
- LP gas can ignite and cause an explosion that can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not smoke or create sparks. Do not use an open flame to examine the LP gas supply line for leaks.
Always use two wrenches to tighten or loosen the LP gas supply line connections.
- Make sure the electrical installation obeys all applicable codes. See “Certification and Code
Requirements” section.
- Do not bypass or change the refrigerator’s electrical components or features.
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids
are electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard, electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system.
- The cooling system contains sodium chromate. The breathing of certain chromium compounds can
cause cancer. The cooling system contents can cause severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and
burn with an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld, move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on
the refrigerator, use caution and wear cut resistant gloves.
