IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR  SAFETY

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

Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of
explosive fumes.

Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.

Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abondoned
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.

Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated
115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric 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. 

Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person 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 outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.

These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety
Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate Properly.

IMPORTANT

Turning the Freezer and
Fresh Food Controls to “0”
turns off the compressor
and prevents your
refrigerator from cooling,
but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and
other electrical
components. To turn off
power to your refrigerator
you must unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet.

temperature change.
