Power Cord; Other Precautions - Sylvania SE80103-1 Instruction Manual

Power Cord

If the refrigerator's power cord is damaged, have it replaced by a qualified technician. Make sure that the
power cord is not placed in a location where it can be stepped on or become damaged. The power cord
should be kept away from the compressor at the back of the refrigerator because of the high temperature
emitted from the compressor during operation. Failing to do so may damage the power cord insulation and
in turn cause electricity leakage.
Protection from Moisture
Avoid placing the refrigerator in a very humid environment. This will minimize the risk of corrosion of
certain components. Do not spray / pour water directly onto the refrigerator.
Protection from Heat
The refrigerator should be far away from any heat source or direct sunshine.
Stable Footing
The floor / surface on which the refrigerator will be placed must be completely even and solid. It should not
be placed on any soft materials such as foam, plastic etc. If the refrigerator does not appear to be level,
adjust the leveling legs accordingly.
Protection from Dangerous Materials / Liquids
It is inadvisable to place the refrigerator near any volatile and / or combustible materials and / or liquids
such as gasoline, lacquer and banana oil. The above-mentioned materials / liquids should also not be stored
inside the refrigerator.
Transporting the Refrigerator
When moving or fixing the refrigerator, (the refrigerator should only be fixed by a qualified service
technician. Call 1-800-287-4871 to find the closest service centre near you) do not tilt it, at any time, at an
angle of 45 degrees or more. Never turn the refrigerator upside down at any time, for any reason.

Other Precautions

opened from the inside, make sure the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to
lock themselves inside the refrigerator

because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces

(i.e. glass) to explode because of the pressure
•
Do not defrost the freezer with other electrical devices (i.e. hair dryer) and never scrape the ice or
frost layer with sharp objects
