AWARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or

injury to persons when using your product,
basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
straight out from the outlet.

• Repair or replace immediately all electric service

cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the

plug or connector end.

• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on

the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator.
They could damage the refrigerator and seriously

injure themselves.

• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are
in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making

any repairs.
NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified
technician.

’ Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker

or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when

being replaced.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and

service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.

’ When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to the desired setting.

’ This refrigerator must be properly installed in

accordance with the Installer Instructions that
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

’ After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch

the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when

hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the
extremely cold surfaces.

’ In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid

contact with the moving parts of the ejector

mechanism or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands

on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the

refrigerator is plugged in.

’ Do not modify or

extend

the power cord length.

It will cause electric shock or fire.
