Important Safeguards
Read all 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; it is designed for free- standing
installation only.
4)
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling out the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight 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
or either the plug or connector end.
6)
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.
7)
After your old refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surface in the freezer
compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
8)
Don't refreeze foods that have been 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 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 questionable, throw it away. 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 foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as posible to save as much of their eating
quality as you can."
9)
Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
10)
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.
Note:
We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
11)
Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
