by a person responsible for their safety.

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material

destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.

Proper Disposal of your Appliance

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,

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

Electrical information

• Plug the appliance into its own ded­icated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug for your pro­tection against electrical shock haz­ards. Plug it directly into a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle. Install
the receptacle in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connect­ing the appliance to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it 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.

• 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 aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper­ating the appliance with insucient
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.

• WARNING: Do not use electrical ap­pliances inside the food storage com­partments of the appliance unless
they are recommended accessories
for use within this model.

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.

a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Rinse with
warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

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
