GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the outlet is 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.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
For best operation, plug the appliance into its own electrical outlet on a dedicated circuit to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse, or tripping
of circuit breaker.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE WATER DISPENSER
Refrigerant Disposal
Your old water dispenser may have used a regulated refrigerant in its cooling system. These refrigerants are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. If you
are throwing away your old dispenser, make sure the refrigerant is removed and recovered for proper disposal by an EPA-certified technician. If you intentionally release this refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Care and cleaning of the dispenser.
Defrosting (GXCF20E/GXCF20FBB/GXCF20KWW/GXCF20KBB Chiller Model)
Defrost whenever frost on the wall of the chiller compartment
becomes
excessive. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the liner. We recommend using a plastic
scraper.
Do not use any electrical device in defrosting your chiller compartment.
To defrost:
nRemove items from the compartment.
nTurn the Cold Power switch (if equipped) to off and unplug the dispenser.
nPut several towels in the bottom of the compartment to collect water.
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open.
After defrosting:
nRemove the wet towels and wipe up any remaining water.
nWipe the compartment with a dry cloth.
nPlug in the unit and turn on the Cold power switch (if equipped). Return items to the unit.
