grip plug firmly and pull straight out

●
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
or at either the plug or connector end.
●
When moving your refrigerator away from
the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord.
●
Do
not allow children to climb, stand or
hang on the shelves in the refrigerator.
They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously
injure themselves.
a
●
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.
●
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 prevent contact with the
moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with
the heating element that releases the cubes.
c
Do
not allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang
on the Refreshment Center Compartment door.
They could damage the refrigerator and maybe
even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
●
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 reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality
of red meat 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.”
g
●
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning
~
and making repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly
recommend 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
control to OFF position does not remove power to
the light circuit.
●
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
