Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the refrigerator is
unpacked. Children should NEVER use
these items to play. Cartons covered with
rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch
wrap may become airtight chambers, and
can quickly cause suffocation.
Safety Instructions
•
DO NOT store or use gasoline, or
other flammable liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
•
DO NOT operate the refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
•
Avoid contact with any moving parts of
automatic ice maker.
•
Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts, and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few days". If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator
or freezer, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or
visit energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your
old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator/freezer:
•
Remove doors.
•
Leave shelves in place so children may
not easily climb inside.
•
Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloroflu-
orocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons).
CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also
cause harm to the environment if released
to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a quali-
fied technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines
and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
