DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this Owner’s Manual.
WARNING!
■
This refrigerator must be
properly installed and located 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.
■
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance.
■
Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb, the refrigerator should
be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament.
(A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
■
Keep fingers out of the “pinch
point” areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children
are in the area.
■
Unplug the refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
■
GE does not support any
servicing of the refrigerator.
■
Turning the temperature
control dial to the OFF position
stops cooling but does not shut
off power to the refrigerator.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
■
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.
