Safety Information

Before inspecting any appliance, unplug it or turn off power at the breaker. For water-connected appliances, shut off the water supply when disconnecting hoses.

  • Stop using the appliance if you smell gas — leave the area and call for help.
  • Do not attempt sealed-system refrigerant repairs without certification.
  • Microwave high-voltage components can retain charge when unplugged.
  • Gas appliance repairs should be performed by qualified technicians.
  • Stop immediately if you see sparking, smoke, or burning smells.
