SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

„

 This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in 

accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

„

 Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves 

in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and 

seriously injure themselves.

„

 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 store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and 

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  

„

 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact 

with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with 

the heating element located on the bottom of the icemaker. 

Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking 

mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

„

 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.

„

 Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be 

performed by a qualified individual.

„

 Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.

NOTE: Turning the refrigerator off via the controls on  the touch 

panel does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator.
