IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
!
Please read all safety instructions before using your new Electrolux refrigerator.
General Safety
• 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.
Child Safety
• Destroy 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.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and
destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very dangerous
attraction to children.
• Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during shipping.
Small objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being
discarded.
Proper Disposal Of Refrigerators And Freezers
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous - even if they
will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator
or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents:
• Remove the door(s).
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.
