SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following instructions before servicing your
refrigerator.
1. Check the refrigerator for current leakage. 7. Close the top door before opening the bottom door.
2. To prevent electric shock, unplug before servicing. Otherwise, you might hit your head when you stand up.
3. Always check line voltage and amperage. 8. When tilting the refrigerator, remove any materials on
the refrigerator, especially the thin plates(ex. Glass
4. If you use any kind of appliance, check regular current,
shelf or books.)
