IMPORTANT SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Read all of the instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
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 grounding instructions
in the installation section.
3. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always
grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4. Repair or replace all electric service cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged immediately. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug, or
the connector end.
5. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician perform the service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or sharp instrument in defrosting
your refrigerator.
7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you
remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8. 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.
9. 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
been thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are 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 reduce the 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
food as soon as possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you
can."
10. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive
fumes.
