IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructionsbefore usingthisappliance.
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 Book.
● This freezer must be properly
installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it
is used. See grounding instructions
below and on page 4.
. Never unplug your freezer by
puliing 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.
‘---*After your freezer is in operation,
~Jo not touch the cold surfaces,
“’particularly when hands are
damp or wet. Skin may adhere to
these extremely cold surfaces.
● Do not operate your freezer in
the presence of explosive fumes.
. Don’t refreeze frozen foods
which have thawed completely.
You may safely refreeze frozen
foods that have thawed if they stil!
contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below 40*F. (Shellfish
cannot be kept above 10°F. safely
because of bacteria growth.)
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
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
—they won’t keep as long as foods
frozen only once, and the sooner
they’re used, the better their eating
will be.
● If your old freezer is still around
the house but not in use, be sure
to remove the lid or door. This will
reduce the possibility of danger to
children.
Caution should be used when
removing the
door of a freezer.
Particular caution should be used
when removing the lid of a chest
freezer, as most chest freezer lids
are under spring tension. Contact
the manufacturer’s representative
for a method of safe removal.
Instructions for removing the lid of
your new chest freezer are located
on the back of the cabinet.
● Unplug your freezer:
A. Before making any repairs,
Note: W? strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
B. Before cleaning.
C. Before changing light bulb.
Note: Turning the temperature
control to the OFF position does
not remove power to the light
circuit on models with interior !ight.
