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 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
that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
■ ■ 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.
■ ■ Setting the freezer control to the O (off) position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
■ ■ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
