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 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, particularly 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.  

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.

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 

OFF

position does 

not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have 
thawed completely.

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 bulb may break when being replaced.)

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous…even if they will sit for “just a few
days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:

Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which must be removed prior to product disposal. 
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling the
disposal about what to do.

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-listed (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.

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
