The Master Protection Agreement also helps extend the
life of your new product. Here's what the Agreement*

• Product replacement if your covered product can not
be fixed.
• Annual Preventive Maintenance Check at your request

spoilage that is the result of mechanical failure of any
covered refrigerator or freezer.
