IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that
mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the
appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
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 prevents overloading of the wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that has been crimped, shows cracks or has frayed insulation abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. When moving the appliance, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Power Surges
Connecting the unit to the incorrect voltage or oversized circuit protection (i.e. a breaker rated for over 20 amps) is not
covered by the appliance warranty. Neither is a damaged power cord, using unauthorized electrical components and/or
modifying the units wiring.
It is recommended that the appliance circuit doesn’t incorporate either a GFI breaker or outlet.
Any complications created by use of a GFI are not covered by the unit’s warranty as they are prone to inadvertently
tripping off often.
Refrigerant Disposal
If you are throwing away your old appliance it may have a cooling system that uses “Ozone Depleting” chemicals.
Make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified service technician.
Appliance Disposal
Follow and comply with all applicable codes and ordinances, cut the plug off the electrical power cord, remove the
door(s) and discard the shelving. This prevents misuse of the unit after it’s been scrapped.
