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 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.
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.
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 an approved 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that meets
local regulations and standards. The electrical
rating of the cord must be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
