NOTE
IMPORTANT NOTE/NOTE – This symbol is used to draw
the user's attention to something in particular.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this owner's manual.
2. This appliance must be properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
3. Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
shelves in the appliance. They could seriously
injure themselves and damage the refrigerator.
4. After your appliance is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces in the refrigerator compartment,
particularly when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
5. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
6. In refrigerators with an automatic ice maker, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism,
or with the heating element located on the bottom
of the ice maker. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while
the refrigerator is plugged in.
7. Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
8. For cleaning and exchanging the bulb, pull the mains
plug out or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains
plug by tugging the cable.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
9. A burned-out light bulb may break when being
replaced. NOTE: Setting the refrigerator temperature
controls to OFF does not remove power to the light
circuit.
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you
are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
Keep children away from packaging materials – Danger of
suffocation from folding cartons and cling wrap!
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The appliance comes with an UL listed, 3-wire power
supply cord.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician
only.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not use an adapter plug.
5
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
Do not store bottled or canned drinks (especially carbonated
drinks) in the freezer compartment. Bottles and cans may
explode!
Never put frozen food straight from the freezer compartment
into your mouth. Risk of low-temperature burns!
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.
Some local regulations may require a separate ground.
In such cases, the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to plastic plumbing lines,
gas lines or water pipes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN
USING THE APPLIANCE
People who have limited physical, sensory or mental abilities
or inadequate knowledge must not use this appliance unless
they are supervised or given meticulous instructions.
The appliance is not isolated from the mains when switched
off by the POWER button O.
Never use electrical appliances inside the appliance
(e.g. heater, etc.). Risk of explosion!
NEVER use a steam cleaner to defrost or clean the
appliance! The steam may penetrate electrical parts and
cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!
Do not store products which contain flammable propellants
(e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance.
Risk of explosion!
Do not stand or support yourself on the base, drawers or
doors, etc.
Bottles which contain a high percentage of alcohol must be
sealed and stored in an upright position.
Keep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and grease.
Otherwise, parts and door seal will become porous.
Avoid prolonged touching of frozen food, ice or the
evaporator pipes, etc. Risk of low-temperature burns!
TECHNICAL SAFETY
Only customer service may change the power cord and carry
out any other repairs. Improper installations and repairs may
put the user at considerable risk.
Only original parts supplied by the manufacturer may be
used. The manufacturer guarantees that only these parts
satisfy the safety requirements.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons). CFC's are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old refrigeration product, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
RETAIN THE INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these operating instructions as well as the
installation instructions and all information enclosed with
the appliance and follow accordingly.
Save these instructions for local inspector's use. Observe
all governing codes and ordinances. Retain all documents
for subsequent use or for the next owner.
Note to installer – Be sure to leave these instructions
with the consumer.
Note to consumer – Keep these instructions with your
owner's manual for future reference.
Never cover or block the ventilation openings for the
