Important Safety Instructions

Child Safety

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the unit is unpacked.
Children should never use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers and can
quickly cause suffocation.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few days."
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place so children may
not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant
removed by
a qualified
service technician.
IMPORTANT
Your old unit may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may cause harm
to the environment if released to the
atmosphere. If you are throwing away
your old unit, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under the
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.

Electrical information

• The appliance must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC
only electric outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• Immediately repair or replace any
power cord that becomes frayed or
damaged.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the unit with insufficient
power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the
warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the appliance from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting unit to a Ground Fault
Circuit Interruptor (GFCI).
