USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United

States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding

type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

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.

CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator may have 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 disposal by a qualified servicer. If you

intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you

can be subject to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.
