Don't refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of Agriculture

"You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still
cold-below 40°E

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 lessthan that of many other bods_ Use refrozen
foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating
quality as you can"
If your old refrigerator is still 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. 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 inorder to avoid contact with a live wire
filament (A burned-out light bulb may break when being
