Introduction
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: Setting either or
both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment they may break when frozen,
causing damage.
The refrigerator-freezer should be so positioned that the supply plug is accessible
for quick disconnection when accident happens.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall
outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention
Installer Instructions that were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold
surfaces.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with the moving parts of
the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. DO
NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have 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° (4°C).”
“...Thawed ground meats, poultry, or fish that have any off-odor or off-color should
not be frozen 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 reduces 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 quality as you can.”
DANGER
CFC DISPOSAL
Risk of child
entrapment
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
T ake off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs
(chlorofuorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release
this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
This appliance contains fluid (refrigerant, lubricant), is made of parts and
materials which are reusable and / or recyclable. All the important materials
should be sent to the collection center of waste material and can be reused
