IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using
your appliance, follow these basic precautions:
•
Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord.
•
Always unplug the appliance before performing any care or maintenance.
•
Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when appliance is used near children.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance. Keep packing
materials away from children.
•
Do not clean appliance with flammable fluids. 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.
•
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
•
Do not operate if housing panels are removed or damaged.
•
When disposing of refrigerator appliances, special handling is often required. It is the
consumer’s responsibility to comply with federal and local regulations when disposing of this
product.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•
Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc).
•
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse appliance, plug or cord in water or other
liquids. Avoid locating the unit in moist areas. In a rainy environment, a water-proof covering
is recommended.
•
Do not use this appliance for other than its intended purpose.
•
Place the appliance on a solid, level surface. If the unit is placed on a stand, the front
surface must be at least 3 inches from the edge of the stand so as to avoid accidental
tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
•
The unit is an electrical appliance. To avoid injury or death from electrical shock, do not
operate the unit with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface or while standing in water.
•
Condenser water from evaporator drains into a hole in the floor of the storage compartment
and is channeled into a drain pan located at the back of the unit on the compressor. Heat
transferred from the compressor evaporates any water that has collected in the pan. Ensure
that the drain hole in the floor of the unit is clear and unobstructed.
•
During long periods of inactivity, remove the appliance contents and unplug the unit. Clean it
and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold or odors.
•
Allow unit to stand upright for 24 hours prior to first plugging it in.
•
WARNING:
Risk of child entrapment and suffocation. Before you throw away this or an old
unit, remove the door. Leave the shelves in place, so that children may not climb inside.
