IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read All Instructions Before Using This Appliance.

WARNING—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 Guide.

•This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the Installation section.

•Never 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 wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

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

•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.

•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 surfaces.

•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°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 reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meat 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.”

•Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

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