IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
w 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/freezer 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 shelves in the refrigerator/freezer.
They could damage the refrigerator/freezer
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—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.
• Unplug your refrigerator/freezer
before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the refrigerator/freezer should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire filament.
(A burned-out light bulb may break when being
replaced.) NOTE: Turning control to OFF does
not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerator/freezers are still dangerous…even
if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator/freezer,
please follow the instructions below to help
prevent accidents. Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator/Freezer 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.
