Read All Instmctions Before Using Ttis Appliance.

WARNING—When using this appliance, A 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 the Grounding Instructions.

●After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces.

●Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury. It will also prevent interference with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes.

●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

apossibility of danger to children.

. Unplug your refrigerator before

cleaning and making repairs.

J NOTE: We strongly recommend g

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: Turning freezer compartment temperature control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

●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 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.”

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

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