BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don'tfollow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don'tfollow instructions.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.
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 at right to help prevent accidents.
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.
•DO NOT plug several appliances into the same power receptacle. Large appliances draw a lot of power. Powering more than one appliance or machine from a single power source could cause overheating and cause a fire.
•Make sure that the power plug is not kinked or damaged by the back of the refrigerator. A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
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.
DO NOT spray water directly into or on the outside of the refrigerator/freezer drawer. Water could get into the interior machine parts and cause electric shock.
DO NOT use aerosols near the refrigerator. Aerosols used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire.
DO NOT put undue stress on the power cord or place heavy articles on it. Placing heavy articles on the power cord creates the risk of explosion or fire.
DO NOT insert the power plug with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.
DO NOT put a container filled with water on the refrigerator. If it spills, it may cause fire or electric shock.
