IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

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 Interruptor (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.

Fterformance 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.

WARNING

Child Safety

Destroy 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.

Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can

cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

An empty, discarded refrigerator is a very
dangerous attraction to children.

Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in

use, even if it is being discarded.

^ WARNING

Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator

Risk of child entrapment

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.

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:

Remove doors.

Leave shelves in place so children may not easily

climb inside.

Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.
