Danger ·During repairing, the power plug should be disconnected. Before remove, install, replace parts disconnect the power plug. ·Attention don’t get electric shock. When checking current, voltage or charging never touch the connectors. When changing the parts, don’t touch the charged parts within three minutes after disconnect the plug.
·Attention the refrigerant during charge and discharge it, as it will frostbite the skin when touch it. ·Attention the burr. The burr on the metal or plastic part may hurt the hand. ·Attention the fins of the evaporator. The fins of the evaporator may hurt the hand. ·Drive up the wine cooler when moving it.
