the manufacturer may be hazardous.
• Place the unit on a dry level surface.
• Do not operate if the housing is removed or
damaged.
• A loose
fi
t between the AC outlet (receptacle)

replace loose or worn outlet.
• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and
sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and
contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a),
an environmentally friendly coolant.

undamaged when installing the appliance.
However, if it becomes damaged, avoid
proximity to open
fi
res and heat sources of all
kinds. The room in which the appliance is
located should be ventilated for a few minutes.
• Never use an appliance with a damaged circuit.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings to and from
a built-in appliance are never blocked or covered.
No liability will be accepted for any damage
incurred owing to misuse of the appliance or as
a result of repairs carried out by unquali
fi
ed

any other liability claims will apply.
• WARNING: Do not operate any electrical
appliance inside the appliance.
