•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 the extremely cold surfaces

'Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible iniury It will also prevent interference with the moving

parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes

'Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Don't 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°E

"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, 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 in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament (A burned-out light bulb may break when being

replaced) NOTE: Turning control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit

•Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator° They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
