Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: 

    

Please Read All Instructions Before Using This Refrigerator.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read pro-
duct labels for warnings regarding flammability and other
hazards.

Do not operate the refrigerator in the presense of
explosive fumes.

Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.

Remove all stables from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in
contact with other appliances or furniture.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior
wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should 

NEVER 

use these items to play.

Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or
stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly
cause suffocation.

These Guidelines Must Be Followed To Ensure That Safety Mechanisms In This Refrigerator
Will Operate Properly.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and
suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abondoned
refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit
for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator
or freezer, please follow the
instructions below to help
prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your  old refrigerator/ freezer:

Remove doors.

Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.

Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet.

The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical 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 adapter plug.

Immediately repair or replace any power cord that
becomes frayed or damaged.

Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.

Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault
Interruptor (GFI) circuit.

IMPORTANT:

 Turning the refrigerator temperature

control to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents
your refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect
the power to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you
must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
