Important Safety Instructions
AWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when
using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:
• Read all instructions before using the

garage a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old refrig­
erator, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the Asso­
ciation of Home Appliance Manufactur­
ers. 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
