IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. If instructions are not
followed, you may lose your right to free service during the warranty period.
Please keep this manual in a safe place and pass it on to later users if
applicable.
This unit is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your
unit, make sure you allow adequate airflow on all sides.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including
the following:
1. Do not connect your appliance to the power supply until all packing and
transit protectors have been removed.
2. Let it stand upright for at least 4 hours before switching it on to allow the
refrigerant system to settle if transported horizontally.
3. This appliance should not be used in a cold, unheated room such as a garage
or shed, or on an outdoor patio.
4. Upon delivery, check to make sure that the product is not damaged and that
all the parts and accessories are in perfect condition. Do not operate a
damaged appliance.
5. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose, that is, the storing and
freezing of edible foodstuffs.
6. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation
instructions before it is used. See “Electrical Requirements” in the Installation
section.
7. Repair or replace immediately all electrical service cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at the plug or connector end.
8. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician perform the service.
9. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the
plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
10.Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
11.If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the
doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger
to children.
12.After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the
freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may
adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

13.Do not refreeze foods which have been thawed completely. The United
States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads:
"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain
ice crystals or if they are still cold –below 40°F.
"...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-odor or off-color
should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be
discarded. If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, discard it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing reduce the eating quality of foods,
particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red
meats is affected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as
soon as possible, to save as much of their eating quality as you can."
14.This refrigerator should not be recessed or built into an enclosed cabinet. It is
designed for freestanding installation only. See Installation instructions.
15.Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
16.Do not allow children to play with the appliance, or to sit or stand on the
appliance or on pull-out parts.
17.Do not hang on the appliance doors.
18.Do not dispose of the appliance in a fire. The appliance contains substances
in the insulation which are flammable.
19.Avoid touching the metal condenser wiring on the back of the appliance.
There is a risk of injury.
20.In the event of a possible malfunction, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply first.
21.Prior to cleaning, always unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit breaker.
DANGER! Risk of child entrapment!
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off
the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
!WARNING!
Keep ventilation openings on the appliance enclosure clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
