Safety first
Child entrapment and sutfocatlon are
not problems of the past. Junked or aban­
doned
refrigerators are still dan­
gerous...even If they will “just sit In the
garage for a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the Associa­
tion
of Home Appliance Manufacturers.
Help prevent accidents.
Before you plug it in
Important
Before using your refrigerator, you are personally
responsible for making sure that it...
• is installed and leveled on a floor that will hold
the weight, and in an area suitable for its size
and use,
• is connected only to the right kind of outlet, with
the right electrical supply and grounding.
(Refer to your “Electrical Requirements and
Grounding Instructions!’)
• is used only for jobs expected of home
refrigerators.
• is not near an oven, radiator or other heat
source.
• is properly maintained.
• is out of the weather.
• is used in an area where the room temperature
will not fall below 55°F (13°C).
• is not used by those who may not understand
how it should be used.
