shock, or injury when

these basic safety
precautions:
This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in
accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is
used.
Unplug the refrigerator
before cleaning and making repairs.
NOTE: Repairs must be performed
by o qualified Service
Professional.
, Replace all parts and panels before operating.
, Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15
amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
, To prevent suffocation and entrapment
hazards to children,
Remove the fresh food and freezer doors from any
refrigerator before disposing of it or discontinuing
its use.
, Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
, Power to the refrigerator
cannot be disconnected
by
any setting on the control panel, refrigerator
must be
unplugged
to remove power.
, Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door
handles or the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
seriously injure themselves.
, In refrigerators
with automatic
ice makers, avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator
is plugged in.
, Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if
exposed to sudden temperature
changes or impact, such
as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to
shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
, 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.
, Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment
when hands are damp or wet., skin may stick to these
extremely cold surfaces.
, Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
, 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
