For Your Safety
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance. Read
product labels for warnings regarding
flammability and other hazards.
• Do not operate the unit in the presence
of explosive fumes.
• Remove and discard any spacers used to
secure the shelves during shipping. Small
objects are a choke hazard to children.
• Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts and also
destroy finishes if they come in contact
with other appliances or furniture.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic
bags, and any exterior wrapping material
immediately after the unit is unpacked.
Children should never use these items
to play. Cartons covered with rugs,
bedspreads, plastic sheets or stretch wrap
may become airtight chambers and can
quickly cause suffocation.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few days."
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old unit:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place so
children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by
a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
Your old unit may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may cause harm to the
environment if released to the atmosphere. If
you are throwing away your old unit, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified technician. If you
intentionally release refrigerant, you may be
subject to fines and imprisonment under the
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.
