IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Use and Care Guide.
• This refrigerator must be properly
installed and located in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Never unplug your refrigerator by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip
plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
• 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
or at either the plug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
• Do not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
• If your old refrigerator is still around
the house but not in use, be sure to
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.
• If your refrigerator has an automatic icemaker,
avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism, or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
• Don't refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin
No. 69 says:
''...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that
have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if
they are still cold—below 40°F. (4°C.).
''...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, get rid of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.
''Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces 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.''
• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out
light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Turning control to OFF position does
not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
