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.
