A This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word "DANGER", "WARNING", or "CAUTION". These words are defined as:

When using this appliance, always exercise
basic safety precautions, including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this Owner's Hanual.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed 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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
NOTE: Power to the refrigerator cannot be disconnected by any
setting on the control panel.
• Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United States) or a CSA
certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120
volts.
• Replace all parts and panels before operating.
• Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment
when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
• In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with 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.
• 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.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed
to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping
or dropping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many
small pieces if it breaks.
RISKOF CHILDENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...even if they will sit for 'lust a few
days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator
or freezer:
• Take offthe doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
REFRIGERANTS
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal.
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product,
check with the company handling the disposal
about what to do.
