IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
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.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.
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., 15 Amp,
AC only electrical 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. Avoid connecting
refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by an authorized service technician
to prevent any risk.
• 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 electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the refrigerator from being turned
off accidentally.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.

CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves
may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator will
operate properly.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3
seconds, located on the temperature control
panel, will disable your refrigerator’s cooling
system 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 electrical outlet.
