not been grounded adequately and in accordance with
the local and national electrical codes. See warning
and grounding instructions below.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or replacing a
light bulb.
In case of power failure, minimize door openings. If the
power failure is of a long duration, protect the food by
placing blocks of dry ice on top of the packages or
check with a local frozen foods locker about temporary
storage. Frozen foods which have thawed completely
should not be refrozen and should be discarded.
Any electrical service cord that becomes frayed or dam-
aged should be immediately repaired or replaced. Never

tions below to help prevent
accidents.
Take off the doors.

place so that children
