■
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. Also see the How
To Connect Electricity section.

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.
■
■
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could

Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
■

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
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 the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
■
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.

■
■
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
■
■
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.
■
■
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
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.
■
■
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
■
■
Setting either or both controls to the 0 (off) position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
■
■
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which must be removed prior to product disposal.
