For Your Safety
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability and
other hazards.
• Do not operate the unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the basket during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.

destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and
any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the unit is unpacked. Children should
never use these items to play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers and can
quickly cause suffocation.
Proper disposal of your appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous – even if they
will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting
rid of your appliance, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove lid.
• Leave basket in place within freezer so
children may not easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified
service technician.
