– When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, 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.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do
not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may adhere 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 an automatic icemaker,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the
ejector mechanism, or with the heating
element located on the bottom of the
icemaker. 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 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,
unplug the unit.
nOtE: Setting the refrigerator temperature
controls to OFF does not remove power to
the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
danGER: Risk OF CHiLd EntRaPMEnt

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