CAUTION
!
To avoid risk of property damage or minor personal injury:
When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may tear
or gouge the floor covering. If the refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, be careful not to move the
refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
Protect soft vinyl or other flooring with cardboard, rugs, or other protective material when moving refrigerator.
Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.
To avoid damage and help the refrigerator run as efficiently as possible, clean the condenser periodically.
Handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or exposed to
sudden temperature change.
Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning refrigerator.
To avoid cracking or warping, DO NOT place buckets, shelves or accessories in dishwasher.

abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any
