A DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEBEVERAGECENTER/WINECHILLER
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 the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before You ThrowAway Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside,
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling the
disposal about what to do.

HOW TOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance,
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded,
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet,
The beverage center/wine chiller should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate,
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires,
Never unplug your beverage center/wine chiller by
pulling on the power cord, Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet,
Immediately repair or replace all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged, Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end,
When moving the beverage center/wine chiller away
from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord,
