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

General Precautions

Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD - Electrical Grounding Required.

• Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity

• 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

• 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
malfunction and may void the warranty.

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
