IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING Electrical Information • The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug. • If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk. • Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord. • Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock. • Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty. • Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally. Grounding type wall receptacle Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong. • WARNING Child Safety • Destroy 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. • Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts, and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture. • An empty, discarded refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. • Remove the door(s) of any appliance that is not in use, even if it is being discarded. • WARNING Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator Risk of child entrapment 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. We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/ disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit www.energystirgov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator. Before you throw away your old refrigerator: • Remove doors. • Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside. • Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service technician.
