chemicals. Repeated or prolonged exposure to sodium chromate could cause organ damage or cancer.
Exposure to a high concentration of ammonia refrigerant could cause pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs);
chemical burns to eyes, lungs, and skin; and could cause a fire (when exposed to open flame).
• COMPRESSOR-COOLING SYSTEMS: FIRE, FROSTBITE, OR INHALATION HAZARD. Do not fracture or
puncture cooling unit. The cooling unit is under pressure and contains tetrafluoro ethane refrigerant, and may
contain other chemi cals. Contact with liquid refrigerant could cause irritation or frostbite to eyes and skin.
Exposure to a high concentration of refrigerant could cause cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). A high
concentration of refrigerant could cause a fire (when exposed to open flame).
• FIRE OR INHALATION HAZARD. If the refrigerator stops working and/or it emits an ammonia smell,
immediately turn the refrigerator off (if it is safe to do so), leave the vicinity, and contact a qualified service
center.
• CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD. This product can produce carbon monoxide, which has no odor and can be
life-threatening. The burner and flue system must be kept clean.
• FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD:
– Do not store or use gasoline, oil or gasoline-soaked rags, or other flammable vapors and liquids, in the
service area behind the refrigerator or in the vicinity of this or any other gas appliance.
– Before refueling or parking near a gasoline pump, make sure all Liquid Propane (LP) gas appliances (vented
to the outside of the RV) are shut off. Otherwise, fumes from gasoline pumps could come into contact with
an LP gas appliance burner flame and ignite.
• PRESSURE HAZARD. Do not place carbonated liquids, glass containers, or sealed bottles in the freezer.
Liquids expand when frozen and could cause the container to explode.
Failure to obey the following cautions could result in injury:
• FROSTBITE OR FROSTNIP HAZARD. Do not touch cold surfaces (or stored items) in freezer compartment with
damp or wet skin. Skin could stick to cold surfaces and freeze.
• BURN HAZARD. Cooling unit piping may be hot. Allow time to cool before touching.
