- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.

• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose to the heat from stoves, room heaters or other appliance.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s rating
plate.
