IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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.
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 refrigerator.
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 qualied
service technician.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by an authorized service
technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the plug
rmly, and pull straight out from the recep
tacle 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 insufcient 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 refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

of the appliance is equipped with a threeprong 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 qualied electrician. Avoid connecting

IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouo rocarbons or hydrochlorouorocarbons). 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 refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualied technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to nes and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

Cleaning your Refrigerator
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning the refrigerator on. Rub a small
amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your ngers. Rinse with warm water and
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, ammable uids, or abrasive cleaners to
