Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handles or
the shelves in the refrigerator. They could seriously injure themselves.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the
moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element
that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the
automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when they
are cold. Glass shelves and covers may break if exposed to sudden
temperature changes or impact, such as bumping or dropping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pieces if it
breaks.
Keep fingers out of the "pinch point" areas; clearances between the
doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be
careful closing doors when children are in the area.
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when
hands are damp or wet, skin may stick to these extremely cold
surfaces.
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
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.)
