SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This refrigerator must be properly installed
and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element located
on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
2
Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas;
clearances between the doors and between the
doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children are in the area.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and
making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug
the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with
a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
Turning the control to the OFF position does
not remove power to the light circuit.
