following:
@ Use Mis appliance only for its
intended purpose as described in
this Use and Care Book.
* This refrigeratormust be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. See grounding
instructions on next page.
o Never unplug your refrigerator
by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
o 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
Jg or connector end.
~ When moving your refrigerator
away from the w4, be careful not

cord.
o After your refrigerator is in
operation,
do not touch the cok!
surfaces, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere
to these extremely cold surfaces.
* Do not place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigwwtor
is pkigged 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°E
"...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 eiating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegeta-
bles, and prepared foods. The
eating qu)dity 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 cam"
* !f your old refrigerator is NH
around the house but not In use,
be sure to remove the doors. This
will reduce the possibility of dan-
ger 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 !ight circuit.
~ Do not operate your refrigerator
in the presence of explosive
fumes.
