shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigerator or Freezer:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.

Proper Disposal of the Refrigerator.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
• After your refrigerator is in operation,
do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
• Don't refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
• Unplug your refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out
light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Turning control to OFF position does not
remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
