Imt3ortant Safetv Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.

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.

l FOR YOUR SAFETY l

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.
