•Destroy or recycle carton, plastic bags and any exterior wrapping materials if you
don’t need them. These items may cause suffocation.
•Risk of child entrapment and suffocation - Before you throw away this or any old
appliance, remove the doors and 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 3-prong 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 3–prong grounding-type electrical outlet properly grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, 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. Because of potential safety
hazards under a certain condition, we strongly recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it will be a UL LISTED 3-wire grounding type extension cord with a 3-
blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be 115 V, 15 A.
•Avoid connecting this unit to a Ground Fault Interrupter GFI circuit.
•Connect to properly polarized outlets only. Use outlets that cannot be turned off by a
switch or pull chain. Be sure that the plug is fully inserted into the outlet.
