Safety Precautions

Do not attempt to install or operate your unit 
until you have read the safety precautions in this 
manual. Safety items throughout this manual are 
labeled with a Danger, Warning or Caution based 
on the risk type.

Definitions

       This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to 
alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey 
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid 
possible injury or death.

General Safety

  •  Do not store or use gasoline, or other 

flammable liquids, near this or any other 
appliance. Read product labels for warnings 
regarding flammability and other hazards.

  •  Do not operate the refrigerator in the 

presence of explosive fumes.

  •  Avoid contact with any moving parts of the 

automatic ice maker.

  •  Remove all staples from the carton to 

avoid cut injuries. Staples can also damage 
finishes if they come in contact with other 
appliances or furniture.

Child Safety

Packing Materials:

  •  Packing cartons covered with rugs, 

bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap 
may become airtight chambers and can 
quickly cause suffocation.

  •  Destroy or recycle the product’s carton, 

plastic bags, and any other exterior wrapping 
material immediately after the refrigerator is 
unpacked. Children should never play with 
these items.

Child Entrapment And Suffocation:

  •  These problems are not limited to the past. 

Whether junked, abandoned or temporarily 
stored (even for a few hours), unattended 
refrigerators and freezers are dangerous. 
Please take the precautions listed below.

Proper Disposal Of Refrigerators/Freezers

We strongly encourage responsible appliance 
recycling/disposal methods.  Check with your utility 
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for 
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your 
old refrigerator/freezer:

  •  Remove the doors.
  •  Leave the shelves in 

place so children may 
not easily climb inside.

  •  Have refrigerant 

removed by a qualified 
service technician.
