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 adapter, and do not
use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator-freezer, 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.
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 this 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.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your refrigerator-freezer unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains a small quantity 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 either on the back of the appliance or on an interior wall. 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 personnel so as to
minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
