between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children
are in the area.

completely.
 Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment

extremely cold surfaces.
 In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place
