For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this unit or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Child Safety

• Destroy carton. plastic bags. and any exterior wrapping material immediately after the appliance is unpacked. Children should never use these items for play. Cartons covered with rugs. bedspreads. plastic sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight chambers and can quickly cause suffocation.
• A child might suffocate if he crawls into the appliance to hide or play. Remove the door/lid of the appliance when not in use. even if you plan to discard the appliance. Many communities have laws requiring you to take this safety precaution.

Proper Disposal of Appliance

Risk of Child Entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.

Junked or abandoned refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous even if they wilt sit for "just a few days". If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer. please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents:

• Remove the door.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant removed by a qualified technician.

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the design of this appliance will operate properly.

• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly grounded three-prong receptacle. protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD ORAN ADAPTER PLUG.
• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more. appliance performance may be affected. Operating the appliance with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high or tow. consult your power company for testing.
• To prevent the appliance from being turned off accidentally. do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
• DO NOT pinch. knot. or bend the power cord in any manner.

Other Precautions

• NEVER unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
• To avoid electrical shock. unplug the appliance before cleaning.

NOTE: Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the compressor but does not disconnect power to other electrical components.
