IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
4) 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.
5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs. Note: If for any reason this
product requires service, we strongly
recommend that a certified technician performs the service.
6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors and leave the
shelving in place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8) 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.
9) 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
questionable, 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
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 its eating quality as you can."
10) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for
freestanding installation only.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
