IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
•Read all instructions before using the refrigerator.
•Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous … even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety booklet from the Association of Home Appliance Manu- facturers. Help prevent accidents.
•Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator.
•Never clean refrigerator parts with flam- mable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EX- PLOSION.
