IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. 

WARNING!

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■This refrigerator must be properly installed 

and located in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.

■Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang 

on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.

■Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer

compartment when hands are damp or wet. 
Skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.

■Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.  

■Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;

clearances between the doors and between 
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. 

Be careful closing doors when children are 
in the area.

■In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, 

avoid contact with the moving parts of the 
ejector mechanism, or with the heating
element that releases the cubes. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

■Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and

making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.

■Turning the control to the position does 

not remove power to the light circuit.

■Do not refreeze frozen foods which have 

thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

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.

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.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an
old refrigeration product, check with the
company handling the disposal about what 
to do.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against 
the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and 
that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
