Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator WARNING Suffocation Hazard Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage. IMPORTANT: 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 these instructions to help prevent accidents. Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer: ■■ Take off the doors. ■■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. Important information to know about disposal of refrigerants: Dispose of refrigerator in accordance with Federal and Local regulations. Refrigerants must be evacuated by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Unpack the Refrigerator WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. ■■ Any work on the refrigerator must be carried out by a qualified service technician. ■■ Wait at least 2 hours before connecting the refrigerator to a power supply to ensure that the refrigerant circuit is fully efficient. ■■ During installation, keep the power cord out of the way to avoid damage. ■■ The refrigerator must be level and not tilted to the rear. Clean Before Using Remove the Packaging ■■ Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the refrigerator. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. ■■ Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For more information, see "Refrigerator Safety." ■■ Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. Before Use After you remove all of the package materials, clean the inside of your refrigerator before using it. See the cleaning instructions in "Refrigerator Care." Important information to know about glass shelves and covers: Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small, pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid dropping. When Moving Your Refrigerator: Your refrigerator is heavy. When moving the refrigerator for cleaning or service, be sure to cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to avoid floor damage. Always pull the refrigerator straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or "walk" the refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage could occur. IMPORTANT: ■■ To ensure best use of your refrigerator, read the instructions, which contain a description of the refrigerator and other useful information. 3
