To reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons
when using your product,
basic safety precautions
shouldbe
followed,
including
the following:
° NEVER unplug your refrigerator
by pulling on the power cord.
Always
grip the plug firmly
and pull it 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 theplug
or connector
end.When
moving your
refrigerator
away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or
damage
the power cord.
° DO NOT store or use gasoline
or other flammable
vapors
andliquids
in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
° DO NOT allow children
to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator
doors or shelves in the refrigerator.
They could
damage
the refrigerator
and seriously
injure themselves.
° Keep fingers out of "pinch
point"
areas; clearances
between
the doors and cabinet
are necessarily
small. Be careful
when
you open the doors when children
are in the area.
° Unplug your refrigerator
before cleaning
or making any
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly
recommend
that any servicing
be
performedby
a qualified
individual.
° Before replacing
a burned-out
light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator
orturn off power at the circuit breaker
or fuse
box in order to avoid contact
with a live wire filament.
(A
burned-out
light bulb may break when being replaced.)
NOTE: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
° DO NOT store bottles in the freezer
compartment
- they may
break when frozen, causing
damage.
° The refrigerator-freezer
should be so positioned
that the
supplyplug
is accessible
for quick disconnection
if an
accident
happens.
° For personal
safety, this appliance
must be properly
grounded.
Have the wail outlet
and the circuit checked
by
a qualified
electrician
to make sure the outlet
is properly
grounded.
° Read all instructions
before using this appliance.
* Use this appliance
only for its intended
purpose as described
inthis use and care guide.
° After your refrigerator
is in operation,
do not touch the
coldsurfaces
in the freezer compartment
when hands are
damp orwet. Skin may adhere to the extremely
cold surfaces.
° In refrigerators
with automatic
icemakers,
avoid contact
with themoving
parts of the ejector
mechanism,
or with the
heating
element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place
fingers or hands on the automatic
icemaking
mechanism
while the refrigerator
is plugged
in.
° DO NOT refreeze
frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
The United
States Department
of Agriculture
in
Home andGarden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
"...You may safely refreeze
frozen foods that have thawed
ifthey still contain
ice crystals or if they are
still cold below40°F
(4°C)."
"...Thawed
ground meats, poultry,
or fish that have any off-
odoror
off-color
should not be refrozen
and should not be
eaten.Thawed
ice cream should be discarded.
If the odor or
color ofany
food is poor or questionable,
get rid of it. The
food
may bedangerous
to eat."
"Even partial
thawing
and refreezing
reduces the eating
qualityof
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 their quality
as you can."
