WARNING
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous – even if they
will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting
rid of your old appliance, 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 appliance.
Before you throw away
your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant
removed by a
qualified technician.
IMPORTANT
To disconnect power to the unit, unplug
the unit or switch the breaker that supplies
power to the unit to the off position.

WARNING
Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in the design of this
appliance will operate properly.
• Refer to the serial plate for correct
electrical rating. 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, protected with
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. The receptacle must be installed
in accordance with the local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electri
-
cian. Receptacles protected by Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT
RECOMMENDED. Do NOT use an exten-
sion 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 unit 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 appliance before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• If voltage varies by 10% or more, ap-
pliance performance may be affected.
Operating the unit with insufficient power
can damage the compressor. Such dam-
age is not covered under the warranty.
If you suspect your household voltage is
high or low, consult your power company
for testing.
• To prevent the appliance from being
turned off accidentally, do not plug unit
into an outlet controlled by a wall switch
or pull cord.
