accordance with the local and national electrical
codes. See the warning and grounding instructions.

thawed completely should not be refrozen and should
be discarded.

damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced.
Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power

Important: 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.
• Take off the
doors.
• Leave the
shelves in place
so that children
may not easily
climb inside.
