IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old appliance may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environ-
ment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under provi-
sions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT
Turning the appliance controls to
off
will disable your appliance’s cooling
system, but does not disconnect the
power to the light bulb and other elec-
trical components. To turn off power
to your appliance you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Power cord with
3-prong grounded plug
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
appliance will operate properly.
Electrical information
• Plug the appliance into its own ded-
icated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug for your pro-
tection against electrical shock haz-
ards. Plug it directly into a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle. Install
the receptacle in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connect-
ing the appliance to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the appliance by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent dam-
aging the power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before clean-
ing and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• Performance may be affected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the appliance with insufficient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under
your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or
pull cord to prevent the appliance
from being turned off accidentally.
• WARNING: Do not use electrical ap-
pliances inside the food storage com-
partments of the appliance unless
they are recommended accessories
for use within this model.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or aban-
doned 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 appli-
ance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/products/recycle 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 refrigerant re-
moved by a qualified
service technician.
