IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 old unit,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Check with your utility company or visit
energystar.gov/recycle for more informa-
tion on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw
away your old unit:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant removed by a
qualified service technician.
WARNING
Follow these guidelines to ensure
safety mechanisms in this appliance
will operate properly.
Electrical information
• Plug the unit into its own dedicated 115
Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only elec-
trical outlet. The power cord of the
appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. Plug
it directly into a properly grounded
3-prong receptacle. You must install
the receptacle in accordance with local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qual-
ified electrician. Avoid connecting the
unit to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord
or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pull-
ing on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly, and pull it straight out from
the receptacle to prevent damaging
the power cord.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning
and before replacing the AC LED light
bulb to avoid electrical shock. Use only
a 5-watt or less AC LED light bulb.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Oper-
ating the refrigerator with insucient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under
your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electri-
cal outlet controlled by a wall switch
or pull cord to prevent the unit from
being turned o accidentally.

Do not, under
any circumstances,

IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlo-
rofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluoro-
carbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environ-
ment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, 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 provi-
sions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
Do not use electrical appliances inside
the food storage compartments of the
appliance unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
