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. Also see the
How to Connect Electricity section.
Do not attempt to stand on top of the refrigerator.
Doing so may result in bodily injury or damage to
the refrigerator.
Do not allow children to play with the refrigerator
or tamper with the controls.
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.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid
contact with the 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.
Installation of the icemaker must be done by
a qualified service technician.
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 the 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: Setting either or both controls to 0 (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.
