FORYOUR 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.

,, Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice

maker.

,, 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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OFYOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment Child entrapment and

suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abondoned

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 away your old refrigerator/freezer:

,, Remove doors. ,, Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb

inside.

,, Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.

iiiiiiiiiiiii;

any circumstances

ELECTRICAL iNFORMATiON

, The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated

115 Volt, 60 Nz., 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.

This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the

refrigerator, follow these important first steps.
