IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Child Safety
This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator 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.
Safety Instructions
• DO NOT store or use gasoline, or other
flammable liquid within or in the vicinity
of this appliance. Read Product Label
for warnings regarding flammability and
other hazards.
• DO NOT store explosive substances
such as aerosol cans with a flammable
propellant in this appliance.
• DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of
automatic ice maker.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
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 old appliance, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/products/recycle for more
information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed
by a qualified service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocar-
bons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to
harm stratospheric ozone if released to
the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may
also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a quali-
fied technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
