For your safety

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flam- mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this

unit or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

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

• Remove and discard any spacers used to secure the shelves during

Child Safety

Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exte- rior wrapping material immediately after the

unit isunpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch

dangerous attraction to children. Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is

not in use, even if it is being discarded.
