IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using
your appliance, follow these basic precautions:

• Do not operate this or any other appliance with a damaged cord.

• Do not operate if housing is removed or damaged.

• Exercise caution and use reasonable supervision when appliance is used near children.

Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance. Keep packing
materials away from children.

• Before performing any maintenance or cleaning, ensure that the unit is unplugged or that
the power line is disconnected.

• Do not clean appliance with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Exercise caution when moving and installing the unit. The cooler is heavy and may require
two or more people when moving the unit to prevent strain or injury.

• To ensure proper ventilation for your appliance, the front of the unit must be completely
unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 44°F (7°C) and
below 90°F (41°C).

• Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator,
etc).This unit is intended for indoor use only and must be installed in an area protected
from the elements.

• Place the appliance on a solid, level surface.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Connect to properly polarized outlets only. It is recommended that a separate circuit,
serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a
switch or pull chain. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse appliance, plug or cord in water or other
liquids. Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.

• This appliance is designed to be built-in (fully-recessed) or freestanding for indoor or
outdoor use.

• Do not use this appliance for other than its intended purpose.

• Do not operate the unit with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface or while standing

in water.

• Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior of the cooler. These
cleaners may damage or discolor the interior.

• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas and be careful when closing doors if children are
around.

• When disposing of refrigerated appliances, special handling is often required. It is the
consumer’s responsibility to comply with federal and local regulations when disposing of
this product.

• This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a)
which is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor

In the event of any damage:

- Avoid open flames and anything which creates a spark,

- Disconnect from the power supply,

- Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes and

- Contact the Service Department for advice.

• The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In

the event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of
combustible gases building up. For every ounce of coolant at least 325 cubic feet of room
space is required. The amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate inside
the appliance. It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized Service Person to carry
out servicing or repairs to this appliance.

• Take serious care when handling, moving and using the appliance to avoid either damaging

the refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.

• Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service

personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.

• WARNING: Risk of child entrapment and suffocation. Before you throw away this or an old
unit, take off the door. Leave the shelves in place, so that children may not easily climb
inside.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of
electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, frayed or shows
cracks or abrasions across its length, have it replaced at an
authorized service center.

For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3­prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected
grounding-type outlet.

• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power

cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

• The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent

accidental injury.

• A standard electrical supply (115/120V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.

• Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord. To disconnect the appliance, always

grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the wall outlet. When moving the unit, be
careful not to damage the power cord.

• The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet with a voltage

rating that matches the rating label on the unit.
