PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if
they will sit for "just 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 off the doors.
Leavethe 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
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-listed(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.
A WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires,
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either
end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not
to roll over or damage the power cord.
