All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic precautions:

• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

• Do not remove ground prong.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

and dry.

fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These

products can damage the surface of your refrigerator. For

more information, see "Refrigerator Safety."

Clean Before Using

Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when

sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.

Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,

pebble-size pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and covers

are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to avoid

dropping.

Explosion Hazard

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a V2"

(1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for a 1"

(2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. Ifyour refrigerator has an

maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range

for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and

provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F

(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator

near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
