1. All repairs, disassembly and modifications should be performed only by
qualified technicians. Attempting to perform these yourself could result in fire,
malfunction or injury.
2. Never splash water directly onto the product or wash it with water without
unplugging, as a short circuit could result. In a rainy environment, a waterproof covering is recommended.
3. Never put flammable or volatile substances into the unit as explosion and fire
could result.
4. Do not damage, modify, excessively bend, strain, twist or bundle the power
cord. Avoid hot, sharp, or aggressive surfaces. Also, placing heavy objects
on the power cord or binding it could damage the cord, possibly resulting in
electrical shock or fire.
5. Use a dedicated wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord or multiple-outlet
adaptor as this could result in electrical shock, overheating and fire.
6. Never use flammable spray cans or leave flammable substances near the
unit. Sparks from electrical switches could result in explosion or fire. If a
2
combustible gas is present near the appliance, turn off the source of the gas,
then open the windows and doors to allow the gas to dissipate. To avoid an
explosion, do not pull the plug or switch off the unit.
7. The electrical socket must have good grounding. The ground wire cannot be
connected with a gas pipe, heating pipe, water pipe, telephone line or
lightning rod. It cannot be replaced with the neutral wire of single-phase
power. In addition to the ground wire, an electrical leakage circuit breaker is
also required.
8. Use an electrician installed ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) electrical
outlet. If no GFCI is installed, electrical shock could result.
9. Never climb onto the unit. The unit could tip over or fall and cause material
damage or personal injury.
10. Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet before moving the unit
and make sure that the power cord is not damaged during transport. A
damaged power cord could result in electrical shock and/or fire.
11. Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Pulling the cord could cause wire
breakage, possibly resulting in overheating and fire.
12. Repair or replace any cord that is frayed or damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasions along its length.
1. This unit must be properly installed in accordance with the installation
instructions along with all local codes before it is used. See grounding
instructions in the Installation section.
2. This model can either be built-in or free-standing. Built-in units vent at the
bottom front and airflow at the front of this vent must be unimpeded.
3. Install the unit in a location where the floor is sturdy enough to support the
load of the unit. If the floor is not sturdy enough or installation is incorrectly
performed, the unit could tip over and cause personal injury. If the unit is
placed on a stand, the front surface must be 3” or more back from the edge of
the stand in order to avoid accidental tipping of the appliance during normal
usage.
4. Never place heavy objects or items containing water on top of the unit.
Objects could fall and cause injury and spilled water could cause the
deterioration of the insulation of electrical components and result in electrical
shock.
5. Disconnect the unit if it is behaving abnormally, and do not reconnect until the
situation is corrected.
6. Unplug before doing any maintenance on the unit to avoid electric shock.

7. Never pull out plug when hands are wet!
8. This unit is not intended for the storage of medicines or chemical reagents.
9. Keep packing materials away from children.
10. Condenser water from evaporator drains into a hole in the floor of the storage
compartment and is channeled into a drain pan located at the back of the unit
on the compressor. Heat transferred from the compressor evaporates any
water that has collected in the pan. Be sure the drain hole in the floor of the
unit is clear and unobstructed.
11. During long absences, remove the unit’s contents, unplug the unit, clean it
and leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation,
mold or odors. Use a cover to protect the unit and prolong its lifespan.
