IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING–

When using this

appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions,

including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose

as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed in

accordance with the Installation Instructions

before it is used.

• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

on the door bins in the refrigerator. They could

damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themselves.

• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet.

Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

other appliance.

• Your freezer has an automatic icemaker

in the freezer drawer—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

freezer is plugged in.

• Turn off the circuit breaker to disconnect power

when cleaning or making repairs. Repairs should

be made by a qualified service technician.

• Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light.

An authorized technician will need to replace the

LED lights.

• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely.

DANGER: 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 these instructions to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator:
Take off the door/drawers.
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.
