Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when

using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

l Read all instructions before using the

refrigerator.

garage a few days.”

If you are getting rid of your old

refrigerator, do it safely.

l 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.

l FOR YOUR SAFETY l

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
