PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation

are not problems of the past.

Junked orabandoned refrigerators

or freezers are still dangerous -

even if they will sit for "just a few

days." Ifyou are getting rid of your

old refrigerator or freezer, please

follow the instructions below to

help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb

inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

•The refrigerator must be plugged into its own

dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet.

The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a

three-prong grounding plug for your protection against

electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly

into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. The

receptacle must be installed in accordance with local

codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.

Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• Immediately repair or replace any power cord that

becomes frayed or damaged.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out

from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by

10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient

power can damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall

switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor

(GFI) circuit.
