damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the refrigerator from being turned

cooling system that used CFCs
or HCFCs (chiorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofiuorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if

may also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
