Read product labels for warnings regarding flammability and other hazards.

•Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

•Avoid contact with any moving parts of the automatic ice maker.

•Remove all staples from the carton to avoid injury. Staples can also damage finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

•Packing cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets, or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.

•Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, plastic bags, and any other exterior wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never play with these items.

Child Entrapment and Suffocation:

•These problems are not limited to the past.

Whether junked, abandoned, or temporarily stored (even for a few hours), unattended refrigerators and freezers are dangerous. Please take the precautions listed below.

Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/ disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you recycle or dispose of your old refrigerator/ freezer:

•Remove the doors.

•Leave the shelves and

baskets in place so children may not easily climb inside.

• Have refrigerant and compressor oil removed

by a qualified service technician.
