DANGER

Risk of child entrapment

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.”

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”.
