Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation 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 appliance, please follow the 

instructions below to help prevent accidents. 
We strongly encourage responsible 

appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check 

with your utility company or visit www.

recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information 

on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away  

your old appliance:
•  Remove door/lid.
•  Leave shelves in place  

so children may  

not easily  

climb inside.

•  Have the  

refrigerant  

removed by a  

qualified technician.

Grounding type wall receptacle

Power cord with 
3-prong grounded plug

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not 

use an extension cord or an adapter plug. 

Do not remove any prong from power cord.

These guidelines must be followed to ensure 

that safety mechanisms in the design of this 

appliance will operate properly. 
•  Refer to the serial plate for correct electri-

cal rating. The power cord of the appliance 

is equipped with a three-prong grounding 

plug for your protection against electrical 

shock hazards. It must be plugged directly 

into a properly grounded three-prong 

receptacle, protected with a 15-amp time 

delay fuse or circuit breaker. The recep-

tacle must be installed in accordance with 

the local codes and ordinances. Consult a 

qualified electrician. Receptacles protected 

by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) 

are NOT RECOMMENDED. Do NOT use an 

extension cord or adapter plug.

•  If the power cord is damaged, it should be 

replaced by an authorized service techni-

cian to prevent any risk.

•  Never unplug the appliance by pulling on 

the power cord.  Always grip the plug firm-

ly, and pull straight out from the receptacle 

to prevent damaging the power cord.

•  Unplug the appliance before cleaning 

and before replacing a light bulb to avoid 

electrical shock.

•  If voltage varies by 10% or more, appliance 

performance may be affected. Operating 

the unit with insufficient power can dam-

age the motor. Such damage is not covered 

under the warranty. If you suspect your 

household voltage is high or low, consult 

your power company for testing.

•  To prevent the appliance from being turned 

off accidentally, do not plug unit into an out-

let controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.

•  Do not pinch, knot, or bend power cord in 

any manner.

•  To defrost appliance, always unplug unit first.
•  Never unplug the unit by pulling on the 

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly 

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

•  Turning the control to OFF turns off the 

compressor, but does not disconnect 

power to other electrical components.
