IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
Before the refrigerator is 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 precautions, 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 receptacles 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 explosion. And 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 the 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 recommended in this material. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane
(R600a) which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone
layer, nor does it increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during
transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are
damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may damage the eyes.
• In the event of any damage:
-
Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
-
Disconnect from the electrical power line,
-
Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
-
Contact the Service Department for advice.
• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in.
In the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of
combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of
room space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data
plate on the back of the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance.
• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either
damaging the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service
