Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the 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.

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.

outlet, The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a three=prong grounding
plug for your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly
grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
