NODEFROSTING
Itisnot irecessaryto defrost the fresh food section of your refrigerator: it wilf defrost itsrdi automatically.
ffyou shut off the house power for extend- ed vacations, remove food and clean inter- ior with soda soIution using one tablespoon of soda per each quart of water. Wipe dry. To prevent formation of odor, place open box of soda in refrigerator and leave doors open.
If you leave for shorter absences, remove perishable foods and leave control dials at normal setting. If, however, room tempera- ture is expected to go below 60°F., turn control diafs to OFF, remove food, cIean interior, leave doors open and remove plug from wafl receptacle.
If youhavean icemaker, flip manual switch to OFF position and be sure to shut off water supply to icemaker. (Ask instaIIer to point out Iocation of shut-off vaIve at time of installation.)
Disconnect power cord from wall recepta- cle. Remove all foods and clean interior. Such loose items as grille, shelves, storage pans, ice trays, ice storage bucket, covers and removable parts should be protected or secured with tape. This prevents their coming loose and causing damage. Your refrigerator is on wheels; be sure it is prop- erly secured in moving van to prevent roll- ingand damage. Hundle with care: exterior should be protected with blanket covering.
The suggestions noted below apply to the operation of your household electric re- frigerator. The General Electric Company recommends these safety precautions:
1.If youro]d refrigerator isstilf around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the doors. This wilI reduce the possibility of danger to children.
2.Some refrigerators are equipped with automatic icemakers. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is
phrggedin. This wilI prevent contact with the movingparts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.
3.The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet (115volt, 60 cycie, single phase AC). This is recommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house wiring { circuits, which could cause a possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a ULlisted
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equal to or great- er than the branch circuit size shown on the rating nameplate of this appliance.
Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization.
4.Repair or replace immediately all elec- tric service cords tbat bave 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 con- nector end.
5.Never unplug your refrigerator by pull- ing on the wire. Alwaysgrip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
6.Your refrigerator is equipped with roll- ers so that it can be easily moved out from the walLWhen rolling out the refrigerator be careful not to roll over the service cord. ‘
7.Do no! operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
8.A burned-out light bulb might break when being replaced. In order to avoid contact with a live wire filament, it is rec- ommended that the refrigerator first be un- plugged when replacing a light bulb.
Note: Turning control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.
9.Always remove the power cord from wall outlet before removing the base grille.
10.Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely urdess you cook them after they have thawed. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says, “... if foods
“have thawed only partially and there are stilI ice crystals in the package, they may safely be refrozen . . . Refrozen food should be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have warmed gradually over a period of several days to a temperature of 40°F., they are not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under these conditions, meats, poultry, most veg- etables and some prepared foods may be- come unsafe to eat: most fruits and fruit I products soon develop an undesirable flavor.”
Also note and follow other precaatiO)l~ contained in t}~is Use 8. Care Book.
