Owner’s Manual 4
- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connec-
tions, or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do
not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system. The cooling system contains sodium chro-
mate. The breathing of certain chromium compounds
can cause cancer. The cooling system contents can
cause severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and
burn with an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld,
move, drill, puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- At regular intervals, make sure that the refrigerator flue
the burner, the vent areas, and the ventilation air
pathway between the vents are completely free from
any flammable material or blockage. After a period of
storage, it is especially important to check these areas
for any flammable material or blockage caused by
animals.
CAUTION:
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and
corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working
on the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant
gloves.
