Disconnect power cord from wall recepta-
cle. Remove all foods and clean interior.

The suggestions noted below apply to the
operation of your household electric re-
frigerator. Hotpoint
recommends
these
safety precautions:
1. 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. The refrigerator
should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet (115 volt, 60 cycle, single phase AC).
This is recommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house wiring
circuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –-Because
of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still elect to use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed
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 appiiance.
Such extension
cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
3. 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 damage
along its length or at either the plug or con- (
nector end.
4. Never unplug your refrigerator by pull 4
ing cmthe wire. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
5. Do not operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
6. 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,
Note:
T urning control to OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
7. Always remove the power cord from
wall outlet before removing the base grille.
8. 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 food$
have thawed only partially and there are
still ice crystals in the package, they may
safely be refrozen . . . Refrozen food should
be used & soon as possible.
"If foods have slowIy 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~
etabies and some prepared foods may be-
come unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit
products
soon develop an undesirable
flavor."
A ISO note and follow other precaution~
contained in this Use & Care Book.
