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: I This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. Also see the How to Connect Electricity section. I Do not attempt to stand on top of the refrigerator. Doing so may result in bodily injury or damage to the refrigerator. I Do not allow children to play with the refrigerator or tamper with the controls. I Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves. I Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may stick to these extremely cold surfaces. I Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. I 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. I Installation of the icemaker must be done by a qualified service technician. I 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. I Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual. I Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting either or both controls to 0 (off) does not remove power to the light circuit. I Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. I Always clean the CustomCool™ Tray after thawing food. DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR 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. Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer: I Take off the doors and discard separately. I Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. I If the refrigerator has a lock, make it unusable. Refrigerants All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do. 2
