IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read
all
of
the
instructions
before
using
this
appliance.
When
using
this
appliance,
always
exercise
basic
safety
precautions,
including
the
following:
1)
Use this appliance
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) This refrigerator
should
not be recessed
or built-in
an enclosed
cabinet.
It
is designed
for freestanding
installation
only.
4) Never
unplug
your
refrigerator
by pulling
on the power
cord.
Always
grasp
the plug
firmly
and pull straight
out from
the outlet.
5) 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.
6) If your
old refrigerator
is not being
used, we recommend
that you remove
the doors.
This will reduce
the possibility
of danger
to children.
7) 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.
8) Do not refreeze
foods,
which
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
still contain
ice crystals
or if they
are still cold-below
40°F''
"...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 question-
able,
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
qual-
ity of red meats
is affected
less than
that of many
other
foods.
Use
refrozen
foods
as soon
as possible,
to save as much
of they're
eating
quality
as you can."
9) Do not use any
electrical
device
or any
sharp
instrument
in defrosting
your
refrigerator.
