Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: ■ This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. ■ Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves. ■ Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces. ■ Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. ■ In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. ■ Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area. ■ Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual. ■ Setting either or both controls (some models only have one control) to the 1 (off) position does not remove power to the light circuit. ■ Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. 2
