Child entrapment, and suffocation, are not things of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will "just sit in the garage for a few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety booklet from the Associa tion of Home Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.

Before you plug it in

IMPORTANT

Before using your refrigerator, you are personally responsible for making sure that it,..

• is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold the weight, and in an area suitable for its size and use.

• is connected only to the right kind of outlet, with the right electric supply and grounding.

• is used only for jobs expected of home refrigerators.

• is not near an oven, radiator or other heat source.

• is properly maintained.

• is out of the weather,

• is used in an area where the room temperature will not fall below 55° F (13° C).

• is not run where there are explosive fumes.

• is not used by children or others who may not

understand how it should be used.

• is not loaded with food before it has time to get properly cold.

Install properly...

1. Allow '/2 inch (1.25 cm] space on each side and at the top of the refrigerator for ease of installation,

2. If the refrigerator is to be against a wall, you might want to leave extra space so the door can be opened wider.

3. The refrigerator back can be flush against the wall.

any inside labels before using the refrigerator
