For Your Safety
Do not store, or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.
Proper Disposal of
Your Refrigerator/Freezer
Risk of child entrapment. Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous — even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so
children may not easily climb inside.
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.
Child Safety
•Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exterior wrapping material immediately after refrigerator is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly cause suffocation.
•Remove all staples from carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
•An empty, discarded ice box, refrigerator, or freezer is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove door of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded.
