IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigera- tors are still dangerous – even if they sit out 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 refrig- erator or freezer:

➢ Take off the doors.

➢Leave the shelves in place so children

may not easily climb inside.

2.Observe all local codes and ordinances.

3.Be sure to follow grounding instructions.

4.Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure this appliance is properly grounded.

5.DO NOT ground to a gas line.

13.Install refrigerator according to Installation Instructions. All connections for water, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and be made by licensed person- nel when required.
