IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after you unpack the
refrigerator. 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 liquids in
the vicinity of 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 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 unit,
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/recycle for more
information on recycling your old unit.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove the doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children
may not easily climb inside.
• Have a qualified service technician
remove refrigerant.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a
cooling system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
