WARNING
CAUTION
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous…even if they will sit for just a few days. If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions at right to help prevent accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR
OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that
used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to
harm stratospheric 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
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning,or removing a light bulb, turn the control
