SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this refrigerator. When using this refrigerator, always exercise basic safety
precautions, including the following:
NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before
plugging the unit in.
1) Use this refrigerator only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.
2) This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See
grounding instructions in the installation section.
3) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
4) 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, the plug or the connector end.
5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors and leave the shelves in place.
This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8) After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when
hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.
9) Do not refreeze foods that have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they "...Thawed ground
meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odour or off-colour should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed
ice cream should be discarded. If the odour or colour of any food is poor or questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing 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 foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible, to save as much of its eating quality as you can."
10) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
