Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator Or Freezer; Important Safety Instructions - Sears Kenmore ELITE 41002 Guía Para El Uso Y Cuidado

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you
of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard
signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen
if the instructions are not followed. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.
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 at right to help prevent
accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW
AWAY YOUR OLD
REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
DO NOT plug several appliances into the same power
receptacle. Large appliances draw a lot of power.
Powering more than one appliance or machine from a
single power source could cause overheating and cause
a fire.
• Make sure that the power plug is not kinked or damaged
by the back of the refrigerator. A damaged power plug
may overheat and cause a fire.
DO NOT spray water directly into or on the outside of
the refrigerator/freezer drawer. Water could get into the
interior machine parts and cause electric shock.
DO NOT use aerosols near the refrigerator. Aerosols
used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire.
DO NOT put undue stress on the power cord or place
heavy articles on it. Placing heavy articles on the power
cord creates the risk of explosion or fire.
DO NOT insert the power plug with wet hands. It may
cause electric shock.
DO NOT put a container filled with water on the
refrigerator. If it spills, it may cause fire or electric shock.
