when
hands are damp
or wet° Skin

' Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic

iniury It will also prevent interference with the moving
parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating
element that releases the cubes
' Do not store or use gasoline
or other flammable
vapors
and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any
other appliance.
• 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 refreezing reduce the eating
quality of foods, particularly
fruits, vegetables and
prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is
affected less than that of many other bods_ 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

• Before replacing
a burned-out
light bulb, unplug

not remove power to the light circuit
