General Safety

Safety

• Remove all staples from the carton to avoid injury. Staples can also damage ﬁnishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

• Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

• Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic bags, and any other exterior wrapping material immediately after the unit is unpacked. Children should never play with these items.

Child Entrapment and Suffocation:

• These problems are not limited to the past. Whether junked, abandoned, or temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended appliances are dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.

Proper Disposal of Appliance

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old unit.

Before you recycle or dispose of your old appliance:

• Remove the doors.

• Leave the shelves and baskets in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant and compressor oil removed by a qualiﬁed service technician.

WARNING

Please read all safety instructions before using your new refrigerator.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other ﬂammable liquids near this or any other appliance. Read product labels for warnings regarding ﬂammability and other hazards.

• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.

Safety

Electrical information

WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your appliance’s safety mechanisms are operating correctly.

• The unit must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical 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.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, service technician, or a qualiﬁed person.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug ﬁrmly and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb or LED light.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with insufﬁcient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the appliance from being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the off position.
