Important Safety
Instructions
For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this, or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
• Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for
play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch wrap may
become airtight chambers that can quickly cause suffocation.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and ruin
finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children.
Remove door of any appliance that is not in use,
even if it is being discarded
.
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the
design of this refrigerator will operate properly.
•
Refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only
electrical outlet.
The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug, for your protection against shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician.
Do Not Use An Extension Cord Or An Adapter Plug.
• If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of your refrigerator may be
affected. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect
your voltage is high or low, consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally, do not plug the
unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
Child Safety
Read all instructions before
using this refrigerator.
Electrical Information
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb.
NOTE:
Turning the control to OFF turns off the compressor,
but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical components.
• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.
Other Precautions
Proper Disposal of Your
Refrigerator/Freezer
Risk of child entrapment.
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
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW
AWAY YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER:
• Take off doors.
• Leave shelves in
place, so children
may not easily
climb inside.
Avoid fire hazard or
electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from power cord.
