IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

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.

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, paticularly when hands are
damp or wet.  Skin may stick to these extremely
cold surfaces

Do not store gasoline or other flammable
vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas;
clearance 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.

Do not refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

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.

1.  Take off the doors.
2.  Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside. 

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed
or a CSA-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
