Proper Disposal Of The Refrigerator; Use Of Extension Cords - GE 21 Série Manuel D'utilisation Et D'installation

DANGER! RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

PROPER DISPOSAL OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are
still dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few
days." If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator
or Freezer:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
CFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
