all

ser~ce
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, do not touch
the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet.
Win may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
●
Don?t
refreeze frozen foods
which
have thawed
completely.
s
You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still 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
fmits,
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.
