SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read the following instructions before servicing your refrigerator.
1. Check the set for electric losses.
2. Unplug prior to servicing to prevent electric shock.
3. Whenever testing with power on, wear rubber gloves to prevent electric shock.
4. If you use any kind of appliance, check regular current, voltage and capacity.
5. Don't touch metal products in the freezer with wet hands. This may cause frostbite.
6. Prevent water from following onto electric elements in the mechanical parts.

move with care to avoid hitting the upper door.

the environment.
11. When you discharge the refrigerant, wear the protective safety glasses or goggle for eye safety.
