Read this manual carefully and understand the contents before
you use the refrigerator.
Be aware of possible safety hazards when you see the safety
alert symbol on the refrigerator and in this manual. A signal word
follows the safety alert symbol and identifies the danger of the
hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to
fully know their meanings. They are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word identifies a hazard, which
if ignored, can cause dangerous personal injury, death, or
much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word identifies a hazard, which if
ignored, can cause small personal injury or much property
damage.
WARNING:
- The storage of flammable materials behind or around
the refrigerator creates a fire hazard. Do not use the
area behind the refrigerator to store anything, especially
flammable materials (gasoline, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- Do not remove the round ground prong from the
refrigerator’s AC power cord. Do not use a two prong
adapter or extension cord on the AC power cord.
- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuse are not the correct size. Either use
the wire and fuse sizes as written in this manual or refer
to your local codes or the applicable RVIA Standards for
the correct wire and fuse sizes.
