WARNING

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 the power cord.

•DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Do NOT allow children to climb, stand, sit or hang on doors, drawers or shelves of the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

•Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily

small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

•Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.

NOTE: Service should be performed by a qualified technician.

•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 wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

•When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat Refrigerator Control, or Freezer Control, or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

•This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the 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 refrigerators 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 icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

•Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It will cause electric shock or fire.
