Safety Instructions
■This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
■Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
■Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer com- partment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
■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.
■Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clear- ances between the doors and between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
■Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and mak- ing repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
■Turning the control to the OFF or 0 position does not remove power to the light circuit.
■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators 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 instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
■Take off the doors.
■Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper dis- posal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of envi- ronmental legislation.
