Important Safety
Instructions

Read all instructions before using this refrigerator.

For Your Safety

Do not store, or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately

after 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 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 door of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is

being discarded

.

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 Adapter Plug.

• If voltage varies by 10 percent  or more, performance of your refrigerator may be

affected. Operating refrigerator with insufficient power can damage 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 refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug unit into

an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in any manner.

• Never unplug refrigerator by pulling on power cord. Always grip plug firmly, and

pull straight out from receptacle.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing

a light bulb.  

NOTE:

  Turning control to OFF turns off compressor, but does not

disconnect power to light bulb or other electrical components.

• Do not operate refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice maker.

Child Safety

Avoid fire hazard or

electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design of this refrigerator will operate properly.

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.
