IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING

!

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 attempt to or allow children to climb, stand or

hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. 

Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.

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.

In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 

avoid contact with the moving parts of the 

ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that

releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the

automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is

plugged in.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be

performed by a qualified individual.

Turning the temperature control to the OFF position does

not remove power to the light circuit. 

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have 

thawed completely.

Do not allow children to play with refrigerator or 

tamper with controls.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the

refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid

contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light may

break when being replaced.)

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES.LISEZ D’ABORD TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.

AVERTISSEMENT!

N’utilisez cet électroménager que pour l’usage auquel il est destiné, comme expliqué dans le
présent manuel.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ

Lorsque vous utilisez un appareil électrique, observez toujours les mesures de sécurité de base, 
y compris les suivantes.

I

nstallez le réfrigérateur conformément aux directives

d’installation avant de l’utiliser

.

Ne laissez pas les enfants grimper, s’asseoir, 

se tenir debout ni se pendre aux clayettes du

réfrigérateur. Ils pourraient endommager le

réfrigérateur et se blesser gravemen

t.

N’entreposez et n’utilisez pas d’essence ou 

autres vapeurs et liquides inflammables à proximité de

cet appareil ou de tout autre appareil électroménager.

Éloignez les doigts des parties du réfrigérateur 

où l’on peut facilement se pincer : les espaces entre les

portes et entre les portes et les placards sont toujours

étroits. Soyez prudent lorsque 

vous fermez les portes de l’appareil en présence des

enfants.

Débranchez votre réfrigérateur avant de le nettoyer ou

de le réparer.

Si votre réfrigérateur est doté d’une machine à glaçons

automatique évitez le contact avec les pièces mobiles

du mécanisme éjecteur, ou avec l’élément chauffant qui

libère les glaçons. 

Ne posez pas les doigts ou les mains sur le mécanisme

de la machine à glaçons pendant 

que le réfrigérateur est branché.

Ne touchez pas les surfaces froides du congélateur si

vous avez les mains humides ou mouillées : la peau

risque d’adhérer à ces surfaces très froides.
REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons vivement de

confier toute réparation à un technicien qualifié.

Lorsque vous réglez la commande sur 0 (éteint),

l’alimentation électrique de l’ampoule n’est pas coupée.

Ne recongelez pas les aliments surgelés qui ont

complètement dégelé.

Le réfrigérateur doit être débranché avant de remplacer

l'ampoule afin d'éviter tout contact avec un fil de câble

sous tension.
