IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
Before the refrigerator 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 refrigerator, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion. And 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, 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 the 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 unless it is specifically
recommended in this material. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities 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 power source,
– 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 in which it should be installed.
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 inside
the appliance. 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.
