DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPERDISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Childentrapment and suffocation ore not problems of the post. Junked or abandoned refrigerators ore
still dongerous...evenif they will sit for 'Just o few days." Ifyou ore getting rid of your old refrigerator,
pleasefollow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
;;Take offthe doors.
Leavethe shelves in place sothat children may not
easily climb inside.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal low must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you ore getting rid of on old refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
USEOF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongl_l recommend against the use of on extension cord.
However,if you must useon extension cord, it isabsolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed(inthe United States) or o CSAcertified (inCanada),3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having o grounding type plug
2
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120volts.
WARNING!
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under ong circumstonces, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personol sofetg, this opplionce must be properlg grounded.
ge.col_
Thepower cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet to minimizethe possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet isproperly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Therefrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which hasa voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
Thisprovides the best performance andalso prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause
a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plugfirmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repairor replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
usea cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
