Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator, follow basic precautions including the following:
l
Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
l
Child entrapment and suffocation
are not problems of the past. Junked
or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous...even if they will “just sit
in the garage a few days!’
If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, do it safely. Please read
the enclosed safety booklet from
the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers. Help prevent accidents.
l
Never allow children to operate, play
with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.
l
Never clean refrigerator parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can create
a fire hazard or explosion.
* FOR YOUR SAFETY.
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

It is your responsibility to be sure your
refrigerator:
l
is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold

Grounding Instructions Sheet.)
l
is used only to do what home refrigerators are
designed to do.

source.

is plugged in for the first time:

or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
Refrigerator Control adjustments range from
1 to 5. Freezer Control adjustments range from
AtoC.
