IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Child Safety

•  Destroy carton, plastic bags, and any exte-

rior wrapping material immediately after the 

unit is unpacked. Children should never use 

these items for play. Cartons covered with 

rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch 

wrap may become airtight chambers and 

can quickly cause suffocation.

•  An empty, discarded icebox, refrigerator, or 

freezer is a very dangerous attraction  

to children.

•  Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is 

not in use, even if it is being discarded.

WARNING

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not 

problems of the past. Junked or abandoned 

appliances are still dangerous – even if they 

will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting 

rid of your old appliance, please follow the 

instructions below to help prevent accidents. 
We strongly encourage responsible 

appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check 

with your utility company or visit www.

recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information 

on recycling your old appliance.

Before you throw away  

your old appliance:

•  Remove door.
•  Leave shelves in place so  

children may not easily  

climb inside.

•  Have the refrigerant  

removed by a  

qualified technician.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 

3-prong grounded plug

Do not, under

any circumstances,

cut, remove,

or bypass the 

grounding prong.

WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use 

an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not 

remove any prong from power cord.
