Owners Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as

described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of

fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic

precaution, including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and

do not use an extension cord.

• Replace all panels before operating.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance, be provided. Use

receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull-chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or

explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the

unit is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can

result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which

is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it

increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the

appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may

damage the eyes.

• In the event of any damage:

o Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,

o Disconnect from the electrical power line,

o Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and

o Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the

event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases

building up. For every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The

amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is

hazardous for anyone other than an authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs

to this appliance.

• Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the

refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel

so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service.
