IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This unit is not designed to operate in enclosed spaces. When placing your unit, make sure you
allow adequate airflow on all sides: at least 4” at both sides, at the rear and at the top. Be
sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
Read all instructions, both here and in the Owner’s Guide, before using this appliance. When using this
appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including the following:
1. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose, as described in the Owner’s Guide.
2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.
See ‘Electrical Installation’ in the Owner’s Guide.
3. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.
4. Repair or replace immediately all electrical 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 the plug or connector end.
5. Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.
NOTE: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly recommend that a certified
technician perform the service.
6. Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.
7. If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove the doors and leave the shelves in
place. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
8. 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.
9. 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 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, discard it. The food may be dangerous to eat."
"...Even partial thawing and re-freezing 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."
10. This refrigerator should not be recessed or built into an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for freestanding
installation only.
11. Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
DANGER!
Risk of child entrapment! Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take
off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
