Check the refrigerator for current leakage. 2. To prevent electric shock, unplug betore servicing 3. Always check ling voltage and amperage 4, Ifyou use any kind of appliance, check regular current, voltage and capacity. 5. Don't fouch metal products in the freezer with wet hands. This may cause frostbite, 6, Prevent water from following onto electric elements in the mechanical parts, 7. Close the top door before opening the bottom door. Otherwise, you might hit your head when you stand up. 8, When ting the refrigerator, remove any materials on the rettigerator, especially the thin plates(ex. Glass shell or Books.) 9. When servicing the evaporator, wear cotton gloves, Tris isto prevent injuries from the sharp evaporator fins. 10, Leave ihe disassembly of the reftigerating cycle to @ specialized service center.
