WARNING You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
CAUTION 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 change of injury and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
kvAv/ ;t
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following. Read all instructions before using this
appliance:
- NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it
straight out from the outlet.
- Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do
not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
- When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.
- Do not crush or damage the water line.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable (vapors
or liquids) in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themshelves.
- Keep fingers out of 'pinch point' areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful when you open the doors when children are
in the area.
- Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
- Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced).
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
- Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they
may break when frozen, causing damage.
- The refrigerator4reezer should be positioned so that
supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection when
accident happens.
- For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
- This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
- After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely
cold surfaces.
- In refrigerator with automatic icemakers, avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the cubes.
DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice
making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
- DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still
cold below 40F° (4°C). ''
"Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any
off-odor or off-color should not be frozen and should not
be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the
odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid
of it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating
quality of foods, particulary fruits, vegetables and
prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is
affected less than that of many other foods. Use
refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of
their quality as you can."
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.
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
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.

of environmental legislation. This appliance contains
fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), and is made of parts and
materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the
important materials should be sent to the collection
center of waste material and can be reused after rework
(recycling). To recycle, please contact your local agency.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid any hazard.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended
that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be
provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off
with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (Ground) prong from the power cord.
USE OF EXTENSION CORD
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (in the United States), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect
the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical
source and reset the control (thermostat, refrigerator
control or freezer control, depending on the model) to
the desired setting.
