I. Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your appliance, follow these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the Cooler.
• DANGER or WARNING: 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 you throw away your old Cooler: Take off the door. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the appliance.
• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the Cooler or attempt any servicing unless specifically recommended in the user-maintenance instructions or in published user-repair instructions.
• Replace the fuse with the same type.
