OWNERSHIP
TO INSURE THAT YOUR UNIT WORKS PROPERLY
FROM THE FIRST DAY, IT MUST BE INSTALLED
PROPERLY.
NOTE: WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND A TRAINED
REFRIGERATION MECHANIC AND ELECTRICIAN
INSTALL YOUR TRUE RESIDENTIAL CABINET.
THE COST OF A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
IS MONEY WELL SPENT.
Before you start to install your True Residential
Cabinet, carefully inspect it for freight damage. If
damage is discovered, immediately file a claim with
the delivery freight carrier. True is not responsible for
damage incurred during shipment.
Any questions about the installation please
contact your True dealer or True Technical Service
Department at 844-746-9423. Please have your
model and serial numbers available when you call our
Service Department.
NOTE: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ANY
SERVICING BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED
INDIVIDUAL.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE OLD
REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...Even if they will sit for “just a few
days”. If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This refrigerator must be properly installed and
located in accordance with the installation
instructions before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves or damage the
refrigerator.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
• Keep hands away from the “pinch point” areas
(gaps between the doors and between the doors
and cabinet). Small areas are not necessarily safe.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
• Setting temperature control to OFF only removes
power from the refrigeration system, it does not
remove power from other circuits. For example,
temperature control and lights.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone. If you are throwing away
your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a qualified service.
If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of the environment legislation.
