IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the refrigerator/freezer 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 this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adaptor
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. Also, 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, unplug the refrigerator or
disconnect power. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.
•
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
•
DANGER:
Risk of child entrapment!
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."
√
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.
√
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the refrigerator.
•
Use two or more people to move and install the refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury. When moving the appliance, do not tilt it beyond 45° from the upright
position.
•
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 60°F (16°C) and
below 90°F (32°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements
such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
