they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your
Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 old appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
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
appliance.
Before you throw away your
old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
appliance will operate properly.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with insucient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under
your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or
pull cord to prevent the appliance
from being turned o accidentally.
IMPORTANT
Turning the appliance controls to “o”
will disable your appliance’s cooling
system, but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn o power
to your appliance you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
Electrical information
• The appliance must be plugged into
its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz.,
15 Amp, AC only electrical 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. Avoid connecting Appliance
to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it
should be replaced by an authorized
service technician to prevent any risk.
• 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.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

Cleaning your Appliance
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the appliance. Rub
a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Rinse with
warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your
appliance.
After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your appliance
before using it. See the CARE & CLEANING section in this manual.
