Important Safety Information
• To prevent injury to you or damage to the unit, the
appliance should be unpacked and set up by two
people.
• If the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact
the supplier immediately before connecting it to the
power source.
• To guarantee safe operation, ensure that the
appliance is set up and connected as described in
this manual.
• When disconnecting the appliance, always pull it out
by the plug; never pull on the cable.
• To protect the appliance from possible damage, allow
it to stand 1/2 to 1 hour in place before turning on
the electricity. This allows the refrigerant and system
lubrication to reach equilibrium.
Disposal of Old Appliance
DANGER!
Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous –
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please fol-
low these instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you discard old appliances:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
• Cut off the power cable from the discarded
appliance. Discard separately from the appli-
ance.
• Be sure to follow your local requirements for
disposal of appliances.
Contact the trash collection agency in
your area for additional information.
Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 15 amp or 20 amp, 110-
120 VAC, circuit which is grounded and protected by a
circuit breaker or fuse.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this appli-
ance to prevent circuit overload and the chance of
interruption to the appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (ground-
ing) polarized plug for your protection against possible
shock hazards.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
contact a qualified electrician and have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Electrocution hazard.
Electrical grounding required.
•
Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
•
Do not use extension cords or
ungrounded (two-prong) adapters.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or
damaged.
• Do not use a power strip.
Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electrical shock or death.
Disposal of Carton
The packaging is designed to protect the appliance and
individual components during transport and is made of
recyclable materials.
WARNING!
Keep packaging materials away from
children. Polythene sheets and bags can
cause suffocation!
If possible, please recycle packaging material at a recy-
cling facility.
