IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator 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 REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for
“just a few days.” If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated
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 electrical shock hazards. It
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded threeprong 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 to
prevent any risk.
• 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 refrigerator 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 refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.

your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use &
Care Manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these

Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct sunlight
and away from the range, dishwasher or other heat
sources.
