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.
Read all of the instructions 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 this User's
Manual.
2. This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation
instructions before it is used. See Grounding Instructions in the Installation
section.
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."
