The power pad in the fresh food com- partment stops cooling and turns off the lights, but it does not shut power to the unit off. Prior to changing light bulbs or other servicing, the Main Power switch in the upper machine compartment must be switched to OFF or “O”.

DANGER

To reduce risk of injury or death, follow basic precautions, including the following:

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 acci- dents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

•Take off the doors.

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