For Your Safety
WARNING
Please read all safety instructions before
using your new appliance.
• 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 unit in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• 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.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the plastic bags, and any
exterior wrapping material immediately after
the unit 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.
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 appliance, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw
Away Your Old
Unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant
removed by a
qualified service technician.
