Other Precautions
Proper Disposal of
Your Refrigerator/Freezer
Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned refrigerators or freezers are
still dangerous — even if they will sit for
"just a few days." If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
Remove
doors.
Leave
shelves in
place so
children
may not
easily climb
inside.
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may
become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy
finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous attraction
to children.
Remove the door of any appliance that is not in use, even if
it is being discarded
.
•
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical outlet.
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER
PLUG.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may be
affected. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect your
voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the unit
into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb.
Note:
Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor,
but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical components.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, avoid contact with any moving
parts.
