Important Cautions
{’“’
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARN ING–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 refrigerator must be properly
installed in accordance with the
Installation Instructions before it
is used. See grounding instructions
?
below and on page 2.
. Never unplug your refrigerator
$
by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
. Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise
.- ‘amaged. Do not use a cord that
,IOWScracks 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.
. After your refrigerator is in
operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere
to these extremely cold surfaces.
. If your refrigerator has an
automatic icemaker, do not place
fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in. This will
prevent contact with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism,
or with the heating element that
releases the cubes.
● 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.
‘~..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 refreez-
ing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vege-
tables, 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.”
. 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.
. Unplug your refrigerator:
A. Before making any repairs.
Note: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed
by a qualified individual.
B. Before cleaning.
C. 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 operate your refrigerator in
the presence of explosive fumes.
