Important Safety Instructions
^WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your
refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
• Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous ... even if
they will “just sit in the garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety
booklet from the Association of Home
Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent
accidents.
• Never allow children to operate, play with, or
crawl inside the refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable
fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A
FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
