Important Safety Instructions
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
Safety Precautions
When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should be
followed, including the following:
• This refrigerator must be properly
installed and located in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb,
stand or hang on the shelves in the
refrigerator. They could damage the
refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Keep fingers out of the “pinch point”
areas; clearances between the doors
and between the doors and cabinet
are necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children are in
the area.
• Unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual.
• Turning the control to the
0
position does
not remove power to the light circuit.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
• However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed (in the United States)
or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
How to Connect Electricity
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
