SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

• 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
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.

• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small; be
careful closing doors when children are in the
area.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be preformed by a qualified
individual.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.

• Setting temperature controls to the 0 position
does not remove power to the light circuit,
perimeter heaters, or evaporator fans.

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE
REFRIGERATOR

True Food Service Equipment, Inc.

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.

Refrigerant Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that uses “Ozone Depleting ” chemicals. If you are
throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified service technician. If you intentionally
release any refrigerants you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
environmental regulations.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator that has been connected to
an extension cord.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a quali­fied electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into
it’s own individual electrical circuit, which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading building wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.

When removing the refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

NEVER USE AN ADAPTER PLUG! Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

The incoming power source to the cabinet
including any adapters used must have the adequate
power available and must be properly grounded.
Only adapters listed with UL should be used.
