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 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.
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 performs the service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your
refrigerator.
7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the
doors and leave the shelves in place. 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, which 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 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 its eating quality as you can."
