Grounding Instructions

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• Have a certified electrician check the wall outlet and wiring for proper grounding.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Failure to do so may damage the power cord, resulting in a risk of fire and electric shock.

Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), which is combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air out the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes. In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

CAUTION

• To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Installation

• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a danger of the unit falling.
• The refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions.
• Do not connect this appliance to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. If the appliance is connected to a GFCI outlet, the outlet's circuit breaker could be tripped. If this problem occurs, reset the GFCI outlet's circuit breaker. If the problem continues, contact a qualified electrician and replace the GFCI outlet with a non-GFCI outlet.

Operation

• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
• This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic and similar applications.
• Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are cracked or broken.
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins. Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal injury if items are removed with excessive force.

Maintenance

• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.
• Remove foreign objects (such as dust and water) off the prongs of the power plug and contact areas. Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.
• Do not spray water directly on the inside or outside of the refrigerator.
• Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. They may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes.
