REFRIGERATOR USE
GENERAL
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
time should not be exceeded.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
• Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to do so can result in death, fire or electrical shock.
1. Plug refrigerator into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Wait 30 minutes, and then open the refrigerator door to determine if
the refrigerator is cooling.
3. Load items into the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in
the freezer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Do not overload the refrigerator with a large amount of unfrozen food.
Overloading forces the compressor to run longer, which decreases the
cooling efficiency of the refrigerator.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the refrigerator. This decreases frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
• Do not line refrigerator storage shelves with aluminum foil, wax paper
or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce the number of door openings, and
length of time the door or drawer is open. Remove the items needed at
one time, and then close the door as soon as possible.
