IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
w WARNING
When using
this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
This refrigerator must be properly installed 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 adhere 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.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers,
avoid contact with moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element
located on the bottom of the icemaker.
Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic icemaking mechanism while
the refrigerator is plugged in.
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.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
the refrigerator should be unplugged in
order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may
break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Turning control to OFF does not
remove power to the light circuit.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.
Always clean the CustomCool
Tray after
thawing food.
w DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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.
