General Safety

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly
positioned and installed as described in this manual.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury
when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
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.
•
A separate circuit serving only your appliance
must be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be
turned off by a light switch or pull chain.
•
Never clean appliance parts with flammable
fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. 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
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
with cleaning and
before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so
can result in electric 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 performed by a qualified technician.
•
Be sure that all components are in their proper
place before operating.
•
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
contribute to greenhouse gases. Care must be
taken during transportation and set up of the
appliance. Make sure to check that no parts of
the cooling system are damaged. Leaking
coolant can ignite and may cause personal injury.
In the event of any damage:
- Avoid open flames and anything that creates a
spark.
- Disconnect from the mains.
- Air the room in which the appliance is located
for several minutes.
- Contact 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 leak, 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 inside the appliance. It is
hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised
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 must
be done by manufacturer authorized service
personnel, so as to minimize the risk of possible
ignition due to incorrect parts or improper
service.
