WARNING
Child Safety
•
Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator
is unpacked. Children should never use these items
to 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 refrigerator is a very dangerous
attraction to children.
•
Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in
use, even if it is being discarded.
WARNING
Electrical Information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only
electrical outlet
. The power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your
protection against electrical 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. Avoid connecting refrigerator
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug
.
•
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
an authorized service technician 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.
•
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies
by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered under your warranty.
•
Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
WARNING
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/
disposal methods. Check with your utility company or
visit www.recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
•
Remove doors.
•
Leave shelves in place so children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle
tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break
suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change. Allow the glass shelves to stabilize
to room temperature before cleaning. Do not wash
in dishwasher.
