USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

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-listed (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.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous…even if they 
will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting 
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.

■

Take off the doors.

■

Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling 
system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone. 

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you 
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
