REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY
WARNING
DANGER
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator follow these basic safety precautions:
WARNING
„
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such
as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
„
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.
„
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
„
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 ice making mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic
safety precautions.
„
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
„
Unplug the refrigerator before making repairs, replacing a light
bulb, or cleaning.
Note: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any
setting on the control panel.
Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service
professional.
„
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
„
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
„
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.
„
To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children,
remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any refrigerator
before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
„
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door
handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously
injure themselves.
