IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE:
WHEN USING THIS APPLIANCE, ALWAYS EXERCISE BASIC SAFETY
NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time, wait 24
hours before plugging the unit in.
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is
used. See Electrical Requirements in the Set Up & Use section.
3) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding
installation only.
4) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
5) Repair or replace immediately, all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the
connector end.
6) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce
the possibility of danger to children.
AFTER YOUR REFRIGERATOR IS IN OPERATION, DO NOT TOUCH THE COLD
SURFACES IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT, PARTICULARLY WHEN HANDS ARE
DAMP OR WET. SKIN MAY ADHERE TO THESE EXTREMELY COLD SURFACES.
7) Do not refreeze foods, that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads:
"...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold, below 40°F."
"...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing can reduce the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables, and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than that of many
other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you
can."
