SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:

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.
 Do 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
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.
 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
