DANGER
Do NOT use the power cable except the one supplied with this product.
Danger of electric shock or short circuit causing fire, if any other power cable is used.
Use the proper power cable for the required voltage in the area/region.
Do NOT use the wrong fuse. Use proper fuse for the required voltage.
Using the wrong fuse can result in short-circuit causing fire. Initially installed fuse on
this unit is 0.4A fuse for 220-240V. DO NOT operate the unit at 100-120V without
changing the fuse. At 100-120V, the fuse has to be changed to the 0.75A fuse, which
is attached as the accessory.
Do NOT use a socket splitter or extension cable.
Voltage drop and the unit may stop working, or may cause fire.
If there is any unavoidable reason to use extension cable, enough electrical
capacity is required.
Do NOT touch or intend to operate this product with wet-hands.
There is danger of electric shock if you touch with wet-handed.
Do NOT operate with inappropriate voltage.
Wrong voltage may cause excessive heat of uncertain part of the unit, electric shock,
short circuit, or unpredictable fire. Check the operating voltage of the product and used
area before turning the power ON.
Do NOT damage the power cable.
Do not cut, damage, modify, sharply bend, twist or knot the power cable. Also, placing
heavy objects on the cable or forcing it into small spaces will damage the cable, which
may result in fire or electric shock

unavoidable reason to use extension cable, enough electrical capacity is required.
Do NOT use the unit on a surface tilted or with the side-surfaced up.
Operated in these position is prohibited. It may result in dropping the unit, and/or
malfunction.
Do NOT touch the container (i.e.: Aluminum Block)/parts when it is frozen to
ultra-low temperature range.
Do not touch the part/area concerned to be frozen (such as Aluminum Block, or other
container) directly with bare-hands. Risk of frostbite and/or serious burns. When it is
necessary to touch these part/area, do it so only after the part/area is completely
defrosted, or make sure to use the dry cloth when it is necessary to do so before
defrosted. Putting on the rubber gloves is the most recommended for your own safety.

Gently close the lid, to avoid pinching your hands/fingers. Attention required to prevent
pinching your hands/fingers while the lid is open.
Properly connect power cable and plug outlet.
Loose connection may cause fire at connected parts, voltage drop leads to operational
abnormality, or unexpected harmful accidents.
Always check and confirm to use the proper cable for the required voltage prior
to operate the unit.
Using wrong power cable at the wrong voltage may cause fire, voltage drop leads to
operational abnormality, or unexpected harmful accidents.
Keep the unit out of humidity and/or dusts.
If inside of the unit is dust-covered especially at high humidity, it may cause damage the

Take enough provisions before setting the unit.
Place the unit on flat, solid, stable, and spacious surface. If the area to set the unit is
narrow, the unit may be dropped off and causes unpredictable accidents. If used in a
vehicle, take enough provisions to prevent dropping off from the set place when any
sudden stop/curve happened. Dropping may cause malfunction.
Defrost the Aluminum Block, after turning the power OFF.
Defrost periodically, for better temperature accuracy. To defrost the Aluminum Block,
turn the power OFF, wait until it is completely defrost and wipe the frost/moisture away
with soft cloths. If it is in a hurry, take the block out with the rubber-gloves or soft cloths,
and soak it in lukewarm water.
