WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning to prevent electric shock by unexpected
entrance of water into the appliance or injury by moving parts. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do not touch the plug with damp hands.
• Before cleaning the appliance, move all foods into another clean refrigerator or
freezer.
• Do not splash, pour, or spray water directly onto or into the appliance. This might
cause short circuit, electric shock, corrosion, or failure.
