Removefresh-foodandfreezerdoorsfromtherefrigerator,priortodisposal.Failuretodosocanresultinchild

entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT: 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 the instructions below to help

prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or

Freezer

■Takeoffthefreshfoodandfreezerdoors.

■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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong(grounding)walloutlettominimizethe

possibilityofelectricshockhazardfromthisappliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly

grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Donotuseanadapter.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

A115VoltAC,60Hz,15-or20-ampfused,grounded

electrical supply is required. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiringcircuitswhichcouldcauseafirehazardfrom

overheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from

the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

havebecomefrayedorotherwisedamaged.Donot

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
