SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Before Using Appliance.
A WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
●
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Use and Care Guide.
●
This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. See the Grounding Instructions.
●
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.
●
Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic
mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This will help protect you from
possible injury. It will also prevent interference
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or
with the heating element that releases the cubes.
●
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang
on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themselves.
●
If your refrigerator is around
the house but not in use, be sure to
remove the doors. This will reduce the
possibility of danger to children.
. Unplug your refrigerator before
cleaning and making repairs.
J NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual.
●
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb,
unplug the refrigerator or turn 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: Turning freezer compartment temperature
control to OFF position does not remove power to
the light circuit.
●
Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely. The United States Department
of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin
No. 69 says:
“.. may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below
“.. ground meats, poultry or fish that have
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, get rid of it. 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 possible to
save as much of their eating quality as you can.”
●
Do not operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
●
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
