WARNgNG-- When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions, including the
following:
• Use this appllance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
e This refrigerator must be properly installed
in accordance with the Attenffon Installer
instructions before it is used. See grounding
requirements below and on page 3.
o Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
o Repair or replace immediately a|! 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 1toroll over or damage
the power cord.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not
touch the cold surfaces, particularly when
hands are damp or eeet. Skin may adhere to the
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.
o Don't refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely. The United States Department of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
", °Youmay safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold--below 40°E
".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'°'
. 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.
o Unplug your refrigerator:
A. Before making any repairs. Note: We strongly
recommend that any servicing be performed by a
qualified individual°
B. Before cleaning
C. Before replacing a burned_out light bulb, the
refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light
bulb may break when being replaced,)
Note: Moving control to OFF position does not
remove power to the light circuit,
• Do not sCore or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
