Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
Please read all safety instructions
before using your new appliance.
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 unit 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 unit 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 appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few days."
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with
Federal and Local regulations. Before you
throw away your old unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Refrigerants must be
evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified
refrigerant technician in accordance
with established procedures.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.
Electrical information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its
own dedicated 10 amp, 115 Volt, 60 Hz.
AC only electric outlet. The power cord of
the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection
against shock hazards. It must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do
not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• Immediately repair or replace any power
cord that becomes frayed or damaged.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating
the unit with insufficient power can
damage the motor. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty. If you suspect
your household voltage is high or low,
consult your power company for testing.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a
Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI).
