General Safety

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly
positioned and installed as described in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
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.

• A separate circuit serving only your appliance
must be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be
turned off by a light switch or pull chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable
fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. 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 n ot 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 electric shock or death.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of your appliance packaging properly.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags etc. are
disposed of safely and kept out of reach of babies
and young children. Failure to do so may result in
suffocation!

Refrigeration equipment must be properly disposed
of in a professional and appropriate way, in
accordance with the current local regulations and
laws which protect the environment. This applies to
your old appliance and to your new unit once it has
reached the end of its service life.

WARNING: Please ensure that old, worn appliances
are unusable before disposal by removing the plug,
cutting the network cable, and removing or
destroying any snap fastenings or bolts. You will
thus prevent children from locking themselves in the
appliance during play (risk of suffocation) or
endangering their lives in any other way.

Risk of child entrapment!

Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous,
even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.

Before discarding your old appliance:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children

cannot easily crawl into the unit.

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the
risk of electric shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an
authorized service center.

This appliance should be properly grounded for your
safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong plug which is compatible with
standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electric shock.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord supplied.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.

This appliance requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC
~ 60Hz three-prong grounded electrical outlet. Have
the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be
secured behind the appliance and not left exposed
