Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
• Do not operate the unit in the presence
of explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the plastic bags,
and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the unit is unpacked.
Children should NEVER use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers, and can
quickly cause suffocation.
Proper Disposal of Your Appliance
Risk of Child Entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few days."
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Unit:
• Remove
doors.
• Leave shelves
in place so
children may
not easily
climb inside.
• Have
refrigerant
removed by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.
Electrical Information
• The appliance must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electric outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• Immediately repair or replace any power
cord that becomes frayed or damaged.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly, and pull straight out from the
receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• Unplug the unit before cleaning and
before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating
the unit with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the unit from being turned
off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting unit to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
