Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Safety

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids, near this or any

other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and
other hazards.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton to avoid cut injuries. Staples can also

damage finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

• Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch

wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic bags, and any other exterior

wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should 

never

 play with these items.

Child Entrapment And Suffocation:

• These problems are not limited to the past. Whether junked, abandoned or

temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended refrigerators and
freezers are dangerous.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer,

service technician or a qualified person to prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the

plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to

avoid electrical shock.
