{you
have an icemaker, flip manual switch
to OFF position and be sure to shut off
water supply to icemaker. (Ask installer to
point out location of shut-off valve at time
of installation. )
If you leave for shorter absences, remove
perishable foods and leave control dials at
normal setting. If, however, room tempera-
ture is expected to go below 60°F., turn
control dials to OFF, remove food, clean
interior, leave doors open and remove plug
from wall receptacle.
Disconnect power cord from wall recepta-
cle. Remove all foods and clean interior.
Such loose items as grille, shelves, storage
pans, ice trays, ice storage bucket, covers
and removable parts should be protected
or secured with tape. This prevents their
coming loose and causing damage. Your
refrigerator is on wheels; be sure it is prop-
erly secured in moving van to prevent roil-
ing and damage. Handle with care; exterior
should be protected with blanket covering.
The suggestions noted below apply to the
operation of your household electric re-
frigerator. Hotpoint recommends these
safety precautions:
L 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.
2. Some refrigerators are equipped with
automatic icemakers. 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.
3. The refrigerator should always be
]lugged into its own individual electrical
jutlet(115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase AC).
~his is recommended for best performance
md to prevent overloading house wiring
~ircuits, which could cause a possible fire
lazard from overheating wires.
JSE OF EXTENSION CORDS – Because
)f potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, westrongly recommend against
4
the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still elect to use an extension cord, it
isabsolutely necessary that it be a U- liste
3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord and that the current carrying rating
of the cord in amperes be equal to or great-
er than the branch circuit size shown on
the rating nameplate of this appliance.
Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
4. Repair or replace immediately all elec-
tric service cords that have become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion darnage
along its length or at either the plug or con-
nector end.
5, Never unplug your refrigerator by pull-
ing on the wire. Always
grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle,
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with roll-
ers so that it can be easily moved out from
the wall. When rolling out the refrigerator
be careful not to roll over the service cord.
‘7.Do not operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
8. A burned-out light bulb might break
when being replaced. In order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament, it is rec-
ommended that the refrigerator first be un-
plugged when replacing a light bulb.
(
NoIe: Turning control to OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
9. Always remove the power cord from
wall outlet before removing the base grille.
10. Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely unless you cook them
after they have thawed. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says, “... if foods
have thawed only partially and there are
still ice crysta~s in the package, they may
safely be refrozen .,.
Refrozen food should
be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have
warmed gradually over a period of several
days to a temperature of 40°F.. they are
not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under
these conditions, meats, poultry, most veg-
etables and some prepared foods may be-
come unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit
products soon develop an undesirable
flavor.”
