Important Safety Instructions

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

using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

Read all instructions before using the

refrigerator.

*Child entrapment and suffocation are

not problems of the past. Junked or

abandoned refrigerators are still danger-

ous ... even if they will “just sit in the

garage

a few

days.”

If you are getting rid of your old refrig-

erator, do it safely. Please read the

enclosed safety booklet from the Asso-

&ion of Home Appliance Manufactur-

ers. Help prevent accidents.

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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

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

EXPLOSION.
