IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
w
WARNING:
When using
electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose
as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
• This refrigerator must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. Also see the
How to Connect Electricity section.
• 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 store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not attempt to stand on top of the
refrigerator. Doing so may result in
bodily injury or damage to the
refrigerator.
• Do not allow children to play with the
refrigerator or tamper with the controls.
• 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 your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE:
We strongly
recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• 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.)
NOTE:
Setting the refrigerator
temperature controls to
OFF
does not
remove power to the light circuit.
This appliance has a refrigerating system
filled with R600a (isobutane) refrigerant,
so bear in mind:
• Leave servicing to an authorized expert.
• Be careful not to obstruct any air vents.
• Never use or store electric appliances
in the refrigerator compartment.
• Never clean the appliance with
sharp objects, as you may damage
the refrigerating system.

WARNING:
Do not use
mechanical devices or other artificial
means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.

DANGER:
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
•
Take off the doors and discard separately.
•
Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
•
If the refrigerator has a lock, make it
unusable.
REFRIGERANTS
All refrigeration products contain
refrigerants, which under federal law 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.
