SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

   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.

CAUTION
