airtight 

chambers 

that

Staples 

can 

cause 

severe 

cuts, 

and 

ruin

finishes 

if 

they 

come 

in 

contact 

with 

other 

appliances 

or 

furniture.

• An 

empty, 

discarded 

ice 

box, 

refrigerator, 

or 

freezer 

is 

very 

dangerous

attraction 

to 

children. 

 

Remove

is 

not 

in 

use,

even

Electrical 

Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design 

of 

this 

refrigerator 

will 

operate 

properly.

• Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only

electrical 

outlet. 

The 

power 

cord 

of 

the 

appliance 

is 

equipped 

with 

three-

prong 

grounding 

plug, 

for 

your 

protection 

against 

shock 

hazards. 

It 

must 

be

plugged 

directly 

into 

properly 

grounded 

three-prong 

receptacle. 

The 

recep-

tacle 

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 

wall 

switch 

or 

pull 

cord.

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

Read all instructions before
using 

this 

refrigerator.

 

Avoid 

fire 

hazard 

or

electric shock. Do not use an

extension 

cord 

or 

an 

adapter 

plug.

Do not remove any prong from

power 

cord.

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 

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.
