IMPOKIANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

w~~when	using this
appliance, always exercise basic
safety precautions,	including the
following:

. Use this appliance only for its

intended purpose as described in this Use and Care Book.

. w refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions below and on page 4.

QNever unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull 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 wail, be careful not to rollover or damage the power cord.

c After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surl%ces.

●Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will prevent contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.

●Do not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the RefreshmentCenterCompartment door (see page 10). They could damage the refrigerator and maybe even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

●Don’t refreeze frozen f~ds which have thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

“... Youmay safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below 40”F.

“...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 less than that of many other foods. 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. A. Before making any repairs.

Note: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

B.Before cleaning.

C.Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with alive wire fflament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

Note: Thming control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
