IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION. These words mean:

DANGER

You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

 

CAUTION

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

 

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

 

 

 

 

 

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

•NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the outlet.

•Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

•When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

•DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•DO NOT allow children to climb, stand or hang on the refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.

•Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

•Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any 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: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

•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°F (4°C).

…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 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.

•Do not modify or extend the Power

Cord length.

It will cause electric shock or fire.
