8. Do not fray, damage, machine, heavily bend, pull out, or
twist the power cord.
9. Please check the evidence of moisture intrusion in the
electrical components. Replace the parts or mask it with
insulation tapes if moisture intrusion was confirmed.
10. Do not touch the icemaker with hands or tools to confirm
the operation of geared motor.
11. Do not let the customers repair, disassemble, and
reconstruct the refrigerator for themselves. It may cause
accident, electric shock, or fire.
12. Do not store flammable materials such as ether,
benzene, alcohol, chemicals, gas, or medicine in the
