This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it is used.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: Repairs must be performed by a qualified Service Professional.
Replace all parts and panels before operating.
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 discontinu-
ing its use.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any setting on the
control panel, refrigerator must be unplugged to remove power
.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or the shelves
in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure themselves.
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.
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 touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are
damp or wet., skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
Use a sturdy glass when dispensing ice (on models with ice dispenser)
