Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Use the refrigerator only for its intended purpose.

•To prevent possibility of hazard due to electrical shock, never plug the refrigerator into a receptacle which has

not been grounded adequately and in accordance with the local and national electrical codes. See warning and grounding instructions below.

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or replacing a light bulb.

•In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If the power failure is of a long duration, protect the food by placing blocks of dry ice on top of the packages or check with a local frozen foods locker about temporary storage. Frozen foods which have thawed completely should not be refrozen and should be discarded.

•Any electrical service cord that becomes frayed or dam- aged should be immediately repaired or replaced. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord.

•Your refrigerator should not be operated in the pres- ence of explosive fumes.

•Children should not climb, hang or stand on the shelves of this refrigerator.

Important: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigera- tors 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 instruc-

tions below to help prevent accidents.

• Take off the doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children

may not easily climb inside.

WARNING — This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp, 60 cycle line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving this appliance only. Do not use an extension cord. Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged ground- ing plug for your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a grounding recep- tacle. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obliga- tion of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug.
