Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Due to possible variations in line voltage caused by overloading of circuits, it is advisable to install a
dedicated circuit from the meter panel. This will help eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause
motor trouble. The serial rating plate indicates the voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.
An empty refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either
the gasket or door from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it
harmless.
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
•
Take off doors.
•
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb in.
DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!
IMPORTANT WARNING
Risk of fi re or explosion due to puncturing of refrigerant tubing. Do not use sharp objects
to aid in defrost. Please handle with care. Keep fl ammable materials and vapors such as
gasoline away from the refrigerator. Use nonfl ammable cleaner.
Disposal of this unit should be in accordance with federal and local regulations.
WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Please ensure that component parts shall be replaced with like components and that
servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel, so as to minimize the
