Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Please Read All Instructions Before UsingThis Refrigerator.
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 presense of explosive fumes.
•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.
THESE GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWEDTO ENSURETHAT
SAFETY MECHANISMS INTHIS REFRIGERATOR WILL OPERATE PROPERLY.
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 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 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.
Proper Disposal ofYour
Refrigerator/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 AWAYYOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place 
so children may not 
easily climb inside. 
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT:Turning the Refrigerator Control to “OFF” turns off the compressor and prevents your refrigerator from cooling, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components.To turn off power to your refrigerator you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
