Connecting Electricity; Proper Disposal Of Your Old Refrigerator - GE GTS16DTHBB Quick Use & Care

WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can re-
sult in fire, explosion, or death.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Do not remove the ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)
plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to mini-
mize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electri-
cal outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in
child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
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 fol-
low the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

Safety
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is
required. This provides the best performance and also prevents overload-
ing house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip
plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll
over or damage the power cord.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling the dis-
posal about what to do.
