How to Save Energy
•
Be sure to follow location suggestions as mentioned in
section
•
Wipe moisture from glassware or other materials before
placing them in a unit.
•
Don’t overcrowd the unit. Too many items can increase
electrical energy demand in order to keep everything
cool.
•
Close the door as soon as possible in hot, humid
weather.
•
Make certain that the door is closed tightly.
•
Set operating temperature no colder than necessary for
the items being refrigerated.
Safety Tips
After a unit is in operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces, particularly when hands are damp. Skin
may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.
Never disconnect your unit by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug securely and
pull straight out from the outlet.
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or
abrasions. Have a qualified electrician repair or
replace damaged cords immediately.
Replacing the Light Bulb
The lights comes on automatically when the door is opened.
To replace the light bulb, turn the temperature control to OFF
and unplug the electrical cord. Replace the old bulb with a
bulb of the same wattage.
CAUTION:
Light bulbs may be hot.
Note:
An authorized technician will be needed to
replace the LED light.
