IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before the appliance 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 appliance, 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 appliance be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
•
Never clean freezer parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids inside or in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•
Do not use inflammable sprays in the vicinity of the appliance.
•
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 appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or death.
•

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Risk of child entrapment
√
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
Take off the doors. Leave the
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous, even if they will "just sit in the garage a few days."
√
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
•
