1.5 Proper disposal of your refrigerator or freezer

Risk of child entrapment

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

We strongly encourage responsible appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit http://www.energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old refrigerator.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb inside.
• Have it removed by a qualified service technician.

1.6 Electrical information

IMPORTANT

Turning on the appliance controls to OFF will disable the appliance cooling system but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical components. To turn off power to the appliance you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

• The appliance must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60Hz , 15 Amp, AC only electrical outlet. 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. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

WARNING!

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the appliance before cleaning and before replacing the light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the appliance from being turned off accidentally.
• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

WARNING!

When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Do not locate multiple portable socketoutlets or portable power supplies at the rear of the appliance.
