FOR YOUR SAFETY
,, Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance.
Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
• Do not operate this product in the presence of explosive
fumes.
CHILD SAFETY
• Destroy 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.
• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe
cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other
appliances or furniture.
• An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator or freezer is a very
dangerous attraction to children.
• Remove or discard any spacers used to secure the shelves
during shipping. Small objects are a choke hazard to
children.
• Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even
if it is being discarded.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
Junked or abandoned 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 followthe instructions below
to help prevent accidents:
• Remove the door(s).
• Leave shelves in place
so children may not
easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant
removed by a qualified
technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator will operate
properly.
• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards, it must
be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-
prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. The power supply circuit must be installed in
accordance with current edition of the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70) and local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.
• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, refrigerator
performance may be affected. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not
covered under the warranty, if you suspect your household
voltage is high or low, consult your power company for
testing.
• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally,
do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch
or pull cord.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.
• Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the compressor but
does not disconnect power to the light bulb or other electrical
components.
