• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang

compartment when hands are damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any

in the freezer drawer—avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element located on the bottom
of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on
the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
freezer is plugged in.
• Turn off the circuit breaker to disconnect power
when cleaning or making repairs. Repairs should
be made by a qualified service technician.
• Do not try to replace a burned-out LED light.
An authorized technician will need to replace the
LED lights.

completely.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
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 these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator:
• Take off the door/drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
REFRIGERANTS
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior
to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old
refrigeration product, check with the company
handling the disposal about what to do.
