follows the safety alert symbol and identifies the danger of the
hazard. Carefully read the descriptions of these signal words to
fully know their meanings. They are for your safety.
WARNING: This signal word means a hazard, which if
ignored, can cause dangerous personal injury, death, or
much property damage.
CAUTION: This signal word means a hazard, which if
ignored, can cause small personal injury or much property
damage.

- The storage of flammable materials behind or around
the refrigerator creates a fire hazard. Do not use the
area behind the refrigerator to store anything, especially
flammable materials (gasoline, cleaning supplies, etc.)
- Do not remove the round ground prong from the
AC power cord of the refrigerator or the ice maker
(optional). Do not use a two prong adapter or an
extension cord with either AC power cord.
- A circuit overload can result in an electrical fire if the
wires and/or fuses are not the correct size. Use only
the wire and fuse sizes as writtten in the “Installation
Manual”.
- Incorrect installation, adjustment, change to, or
maintenance of this refrigerator can cause personal
injury, property damage, or both. Have service and

- Do not spray liquids near electrical outlets, connections,
or the refrigerator components. Many liquids are
electrically conductive and can cause a shock hazard,
electrical shorts, and in some cases fire.
- The refrigerator cooling system is under pressure. Do
not try to repair or to recharge a defective cooling
system. The cooling system contains sodium chromate.
The breathing of certain chromium compounds can
cause cancer. The cooling system contents can cause
severe skin and eye burns, and can ignite and burn with
an intense flame. Do not bend, drop, weld, move, drill,
puncture, or hit the cooling system.
- At regular intervals, make sure that the refrigerator
flue the burner, the vent areas, and the ventilation air
pathway between the vents are completely free from
any flammable material or blockage. After a period of
storage, it is especially important to check these areas
for any flammable material or blockage caused by
animals.
CAUTION:
- The rear of the refrigerator has sharp edges and
corners. To prevent cuts or abrasions when working on
the refrigerator, be careful and wear cut resistant gloves.
