•
Do not use extention cords.
•
Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
•
If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
•
To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
•
After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the compressor.
Defrost System
Refrigeration units contain an automatic defrost system. Refrigeration coils are kept below the freezing point
(32 degrees Fahrenheit). During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through
the evaporator coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any
accumulated frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.
Safety / Warning
Please pay close attention to the safety notices in this section. Disregarding these notices may lead to
serious injury and/or damage to the unit.
Attention
•
To minimize shock and fire hazards, be sure not to overload outlet. Please designate one outlet for
your unit.
