Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
It may not open easily when you try
to open the freezer door immediately
after closing it. It is not a problem
with the freezer because it is caused
by the pressure difference.
To solve this, it opens easily after a
certain period of time (1 minute).
IMPORTANT
Your old unit may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluoro-
carbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons).
CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may
cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere. If you are
throwing away your old unit, make sure
the refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant,
you may be subject to fines and
imprisonment under the provisions of
environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed
to ensure that safety mechanisms in
this unit will operate properly.
Electrical Information

firmly, and pull straight out from the
receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
