PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not plug this Tool Box Refrigerator into the power source before setup is completed.
• An empty Tool Box Refrigerator can be dangerous for children and small animals. If disposing of the Tool Box
Refrigerator, remove gaskets, latches, and the entire refrigerator door from your unused appliance so that
children or small animals cannot be trapped inside.
• The Tool Box Refrigerator is an electrical appliance. To avoid serious injury from electrical shock, do not operate
the Tool Box Refrigerator with wet hands, while standing on a wet surface, or while standing in
water.
• To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used in bathrooms, shower rooms, or in any other steamy
or wet areas.
• During installation, the power supply must not be excessively or dangerously bent or flattened.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Make sure the power cord is placed fully and firm into the power source. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is
not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install an
outlet that is appropriate to local electrical codes and requirements.
• Do not use multiple socket or an extension cord as it may overheat and become a risk of fire. Please ensure that
the Tool Box Refrigerator is plugged directly into the electrical outlet.
• The cord should be secured behind the unit and should not be left exposed or dangling
• Make sure the power cord is clean before usage.
• Make sure hands are dry when connecting the power cord. The appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounded plug on the power cord for your protection. Never modify, remove or attempt to repair the power cord
yourself.
• Never pull the power cord to disconnect the unit from an outlet. Grasp the plug directly and pull it from the outlet.
• Never lift or carry the Tool Box Refrigerator by the power cord.
• Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not repair, disassemble and/or modify the appliance by yourself.
• Always turn off the appliance when cleaning or transporting.

• Always place the appliance on even and hard and level surface.
• Close the tool box refrigerator door immediately after putting in any items to maintain the internal temperature
of the unit.
• Avoid placing the tool box refrigerator near external heat sources or direct sunlight.
• Make sure the tool box refrigerator is placed on a flat, level, and solid surface.
• Place your appliance on a hard and level floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not turn the tool box refrigerator upside down, on its side, or 45° or more off level.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the door and compartment are necessarily
small. Be careful closing drawers and door when children are in the area.

ELECTR ICAL CONNECTION
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3prong (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. Where a
standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter. The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house 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 moving the
refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord
EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this
appliance. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes and 115 volts. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electric shock,
or death.
