Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using your appliance, always follow basic precautions, including the following:

•Use the refrigerator only for its intended purpose.

•To prevent possibility of hazard due to electrical shock, never plug the refrigerator into a receptacle which has

not been grounded adequately and in accordance with the local and national electrical codes. See warning and the grounding instructions below.

•Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or replacing a light bulb.

•In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If the power failure is of a long duration, protect the food by placing blocks of dry ice on top of the packages or check with a local frozen foods locker about temporary storage. Frozen foods which have thawed completely should not be refrozen.

•Any electrical service cord that becomes frayed or damaged should be immediately repaired or replaced. Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord.

•Your refrigerator should not be operated in the presence of explosive fumes.

•Children should not climb, hang or stand on the shelves of this refrigerator.

Important: 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.

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

WARNING — This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp, 60 cycle line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving this appliance only. Do not use an extension cord. Do not use any device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.

This appliance is equipped with a three-pronged grounding plug for your protection against possible electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged into a grounding receptacle. Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug.
