a few days." If you are getting rid of your

CFC DISPOSAL

Old refrigeration products have
cooling systems that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

WARNING—When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
• If your refrigerator has an automatic
icemaker, avoid contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the
cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on
the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• Unplug your 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,
the refrigerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.) NOTE:
Turning control to "0" does not remove
power to the light circuit.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside
If you are throwing away an old
refrigeration product, make sure the CFC
refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant you can be
subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
