3 Safety Precautions
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
PLEASE READ all instructions completely before
attempting to install, operate, or service your unit.
• Proper installation procedures must be followed
if this unit is being initially installed, or is moved
to a new location after being in service. An
INSTALLATION GUIDE for your unit, providing
complete installation information is available
from U-Line Corporation directly, and must be
consulted before any installation is begun. U-Line
contact information appears on the rear cover of
this guide.
• This unit requires connection to a grounded
(three-prong), polarized receptacle that has been
placed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with applicable electrical codes.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD - Electrical Grounding Required.
• Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity
has been disconnected.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
• Altering, cutting of power cord, removal of
power cord, removal of power plug, or direct
wiring can cause serious injury, fire and/or loss
of property and/or life, and will void the
warranty.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power
to the unit.
• Always keep your working area dry.
CAUTION
Safety Alert Definitions
Safety items throughout this guide are labeled with a
Danger, Warning or Caution based on the risk type:
DANGER
Danger means that failure to follow this safety
statement will result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Warning means that failure to follow this safety
statement could result in serious personal injury
or death.
CAUTION
Caution means that failure to follow this safety
statement may result in minor or moderate
personal injury, property or equipment damage.
General Precautions
Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:
• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp
edges.
• If your model requires defrosting, DO NOT use any
type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed
up defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
• Do not lift unit by door handle.
• Never install or operate the unit behind closed
doors. Be sure front grille is free of obstruction.
Obstructing free air flow can cause the unit to

can cause the unit to malfunction. This could void
the warranty.
• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours
before use.
• If your model requires defrosting, never use an
ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed
up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage the cooling unit.
• Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts.
Imitation parts can damage the unit, affect its
operation or performance and may void the
warranty.
DANGER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. Before you throw away
your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors
and leave shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.

that provide a rich textured look, and resist scratching,
peeling, or flaking. They feature a slightly contoured,
across the top, integrated door handle design that
permits the door to be easily reversed. The door comes
standard with a factory-installed flush panel, and will
accommodate a 1/4 in. (0.66 cm) thick custom panel to
achieve a custom, built-in look by matching
surrounding cabinets.
• All stainless steel models have a stainless steel full wrap
cabinet, door, sculpted handle and hinges.

use by UL.
