Turning the control to the OFF(_) posi0on does

not remove power to the light circuit.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have

thawed completely.

DANGER!RISKOFCHILDENTRAPMENT

PROPERDISPOSALOFTHEREFRIGERATOR

Child enu'apment and suffocation are not problems
of {liepast.Junked or abandoned refrigerators are

still dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few
days." Ifyou we getOng rid of your old refrigerator,

please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

Before YouThrew Away YourOldRefrigerator
or Freezer:

_ Take off the doors.

_ Leave Ihe shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.

CFCDisposal

Your old re@igerator has a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stmlospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper

disposal by a qualified servicer. If you inten0onalty
release flaisCFC re@igerant you can be sut_iect to

fines and imprisonment under provisions of the
Federal Clean Air Act.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, ifyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely nece_smy that it be a UI Aisted (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and oudet and that the elecu-ical ra0ng of the cord be 15amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

A WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (ga'()unding) plug which mares

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize Ihe possibility of etectlic shock h_ard

from this appliance,
Have 1he wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified etecuician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your pei,'sonal responsibility- and

obligation I()have it replaced with a properly-
grounded _prong wall outlet,

The refiigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual elecuical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the Fating plate.

"l_is pr_wides the best perfolTnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire h_ard fi'om (werheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on I11e
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight

out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power coMs flaat

have become fi_ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord Ihat shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When m(wing the refrigel_alor away fi'om the
wall, be careful not m roll over or dmnage the

power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterplugsnotpermittedin Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.

However, ifyou must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay- be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by ttse
of a UIAisted adapter available at most local

hm'dware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in flae connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from Ilae
adapter, always hold the adapter in place wifla one

hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If flaisis not done, the adapter gnmnd

temfinal is very likely to break with repeated u_,

If I11eadapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE
the refrigerator until a proper gnmnd has been

established.

Fruit and Vegetable Drawers

One or more storage dt_awers provide space to store
fruiks, vegetables and meats.

Models widl a single full-width drawer have a divider
to separate meats and vegetables. The divider can be

removed if a single lm'ge storage space isneeded.

The drawer will stop before coming all the way out

of the refrigerator to help prevent conlents fi'om
spilling onto flaefloor. It can be removed easily

by lifting up slightly and pulling past the "stop"
position.

To replace the drawer and the cover above it, tlle

door must be fully- opened. In some installations the
