W~&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 4.
This refrigerator should not
be recessed or built in — it is
designed for free-standing instal-
lation only.
If refrigerator is placed on a
countertop or stand, the front
surface of the door should be 3"
or more back from the edge of the
countertop or stand to avoid acci-
dental tipping of the appliance in
normal usage.
Never unplug your refrigerator
---
by pulling 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 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.
s Don't refreeze frozen foods
which have thawed completely.
The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
66
You may safely refreeze
f;ozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if
they are still cold — below 40 "F.
66
Thawed ground meats,
poul;ry, 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 maybe
dangerous to eat.
"Even partial thawing and refreez-
ing reduce the eating quality of
foods, particularly fruits, vegeta-
bles, 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."
Do not use any electrical
device or any sharp instrument
in defrosting your ice tray
compartment
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.
s Do not operate your
refrigerator in the presence of
explosive fumes.
