IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic
precaution, including the following:
•Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and
do not use an extension cord.
•Replace all panels before operating.
•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.
•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And 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.
•Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected.
•Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
•Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can
result in electrical shock or death.
•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.
•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 does it
increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may
damage the eyes.
•In the event of any damage:
oAvoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
oDisconnect from the electrical power line,
oAir the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
oContact 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 on the back of 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.

5
FOLLOW WARNING CALL OUTS BELOW ONLY WHEN APPLICABLE TO YOUR MODEL
•Use two or more people to move and install appliance. Failure to do so can result in back or
other 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 60°F (16°C) and below
100°F (38°C). This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind,
rain, water spray or drips.
•The appliance should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
•The appliance must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in accordance
with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 V AC only, 60 Hz), properly
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances is
required.
•Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord of appliance.
•The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
•It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make
several adjustments to level it.
•Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.
•Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may
damage or discolor the interior.
•Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
Risk of child entrapment!
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are
still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
•Before discarding your old refrigerator:
oTake off the doors
oLeave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Electrical Connection
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the
possibility of electrical shock.
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.
This appliance requires a standard three-prong 115/120 Volt AC ~/60Hz electrical ground wall outlet.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
The appliance should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could be a fire hazard from overheating. Never
unplug the appliance by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from
the receptacle. 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 appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, 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, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at
least 10 amperes.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord
is damaged, have it replaced by a service center authorized by Felix Storch, Inc.
