Safety Awareness
Read this manual carefully and understand the contents before you install the refrigerator .
Be aware of possible safety hazards when you see the safety alert symbol on the refrigerator
and in this manual. A signal word follows the safety alert symbol and identifies the danger of the
hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to fully know their meanings. They
are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause dangerous
personal injury, death, or much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if ignored, can cause small
personal injury or much property damage.
Model No. and Serial No.
The model and serial number are on a label which is on the compressor cover near the
portable handle and on the cover of this manual.
General
The refrigerator should be placed on a level and solid surface. The compressor has shock
mounts to allow the refrigerator operation during transit.
Be sure the refrigerator is not in direct sunlight or near a gas stove, a heater, or other heatgenerating appliances. Avoid placing your refrigerator in an area where it could be accidentally splashed or sprayed with water which could enter the electrical compartment of the
refrigerator.
Y our refrigerator was thoroughly cleaned before shipment from the factory . It is advisable,
however, to clean the interior once more before using. Wipe the interior with a cloth and
warm water. Then wipe with a dry cloth.
Operation
This refrigerator operates on either 120 volts (60 hertz) AC current from a standard wall
receptacle or 12/24 volts DC current from a battery in your car, boat, trailer , camper , etc. If both
power supplies are available, the refrigerator will select and operate on AC voltage. If the AC
power becomes unavailable, the refrigerator will switch operation to DC voltage.
CAUTION: Never store combustible materials near the refrigerator. S toring combus-
tible materials near the refrigerator creates a safety hazard and also decreases the
ventilation of the cooling system which decreases the refrigerator performance.
Do not touch the evaporator or other metal parts inside the refrigerator cabinet with wet
hands because they can freeze to the refrigerator.
Always disconnect all power sources from the refrigerator when doing routine maintenance. Have service work done only by a qualified service technician.
