GWP of 134a= 1,300. R404a= 3,800).

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
refrigerated compartment when hands are damp
or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.

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

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.

• Setting temperature controls to the 0 position

SAFETY INFORMATION

DANGER!

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned display cases
are still dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a
few days.” If you are getting rid of your old display
case, 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 display case 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 unit 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.

NEMA plugs

TRUE uses these types of plugs.

If you do not have the right outlet

have a certifi ed electrician install

the correct power source.
