Important Safety
Instructions
Please Read All Instructions Before
Using This Refrigerator.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
• 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 refrigerator in the presence of
explosive fumes.
• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice
maker.
• 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 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.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
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.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
