SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:

NOTE: If the refrigerator/freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.

1)Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use and care guide.

2)This refrigerator/freezer must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the installation section.

3)This refrigerator/freezer should not be recessed or built-in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding installation only.

4)Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

5)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, the plug or the connector end.

6)If your old refrigerator/freezer is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.

7)WARNING: After your refrigerator/freezer 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.

8)Do not refreeze foods, which have been thawed completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 reads: "…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 offcolor 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, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
