CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, handle tempered glass shelves
carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if
nicked, scratched, or exposed to sudden
temperature change.
Child Safety
Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and
any exterior wrapping material immediately
after the refrigerator is unpacked. Children
should NEVER use these items to play.
Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic
sheets or stretch wrap may become airtight
chambers, and can quickly cause suocation.
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suocation 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 refrigerator or freezer, please
follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visiit energystar.gov/products/
recycle for more information on recycling your old
refrigerator.

controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the refrigerator from being turned
