DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY

• Unplug the appliance before servicing or replacing electrical parts.

• Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.

- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.

• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.

- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could

cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.

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

• In order to reduce the risk of electric shock the appliance must be properly grounded.

• Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer.

- When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause personal injury.

• Do not store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator.

- The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause

explosions.
