General Safety
WARNING
Please read all safety instructions before
using your new refrigerator.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable liquids near this or any
other appliance. Read product labels
for warnings regarding flammability
and other hazards.
Do not operate the refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
Avoid contact with any moving parts
of the automatic ice maker.
Remove all staples from the carton to
avoid injury. Staples can also damage
finishes if they come in contact with
other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Packing Materials:
Packing cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers
and can quickly cause suffocation.
Destroy or recycle the product's carton,
plastic bags, and any other exterior
wrapping material immediately after
the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should never play with these items.
Child Entrapment and Suffocation:
These problems are not limited to the
past. Whether junked, abandoned,
or temporarily stored (even for a few
hours), unattended refrigerators and
freezers are dangerous. Please take
the precautions listed below.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/
Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you recycle or dispose of your
old refrigerator/freezer:
Remove the doors.
Leave the shelves and baskets in place
so children may not easily climb inside.
Have refrigerant and compressor oil
removed by a qualified service technician.
