Important Safety Instructions
^WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator, follow basic precautions including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
• Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous...even if they will “just sit
in the garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, do it safely. Please read
the enclosed safety booklet from
the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
• Never allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can create
a fire hazard or explosion.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQ­
UIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
It is your responsibility to be sure your
refrigerator:
• is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold
the weight, and in an area suitable for its size
and use.
• is connected only to the proper kind of outlet,
with the correct electrical supply and ground­
ing. (Refer to the Electrical Requirements and
Grounding Instructions Sheet.)
• is used only to do what home refrigerators are
designed to do.
• is not near an oven, radiator or other heat
source.
• is properly maintained.
• is out of the weather.
• is used in an area where the room tempera­
ture will not fall below 55°F (13°C).
• is not used by anyone unable to operate
it properly.
• is not loaded with food before it has time to
get properly cold.
