PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment Child entrapment and suffocation

are not problems of the past. Junked orabandonedrefrigerators or freezers are still dangerous -

even if they willsit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your oldrefrigerator orfreezer, 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 noteasily climb

inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet.

The power cord of the appliance isequipped 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, itshould be replaced bythe 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 pullcord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.
