This manual contains several important safety notices. Always read and obey all of the following safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol is a warning to potential dangers that could cause death, injury
or damage to you, others or the product. All safety messages will follow after this warning symbol and the
word “DANGER”, “CAUTION” or “WARNING”. These words mean:
You may be killed or suffer fatal damage if you do not follow instructions.
You may be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor injury
or damage to the product.
All safety messages inform you of potential danger, advise you on how to reduce the risk of injury and tell you what
can occur if the instructions are not followed.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal
injury, the following precaution measures should be
followed:
• NEVER disconnect the refrigerator by pulling the
power cord, always grip the plug firmly and disconnect
it directly from the outlet.
• Immediately repair or replace all faulty or damaged
service cables. Do not use cords that have cracks or
abrasion damage on the length of the cord or on the
plug.
• When moving your refrigerator, take care not to roll
over the electrical cord.
• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other combustible
liquids or vapors in proximity with this or any other
electrical appliance.
• DO NOT permit children to climb, stand or swing from
the doors or shelves of the refrigerator. This can cause
serious injury to them and damage to the product.
• Keep your fingers away from areas in which they
can become caught, such as the doors, hinges and
cabinets. Be careful closing the doors when children
are near.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning or repairing.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any repair
services be performed by a qualified professional.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or shut down the circuit breaker to avoid
contact with a live wire (the bulb could break while
being replaced). NOTE: Setting the control to the OFF
position does not disconnect the power from the light
bulb circuit.
• Do not keep bottles in the freezer compartment, they
could explode after freezing and cause damage.
• For your safety, this product should be properly
grounded. Have a qualified professional check the
electrical circuit and outlet to ensure a proper ground
connection.
• Read all instructions before utilizing the product. Utilize
this product only as explicitly expressed in this guide.
• Once the refrigerator is operating, avoid touching cold
surfaces of the freezer with damp or wet hands; the
skin could become adhered to these surfaces.
• In refrigerators with an automatic ice dispenser, avoid
contact with moving parts of the ejector mechanism
or with the heating mechanism that discharges the
cubes. DO NOT place your fingers or hands in the
ice dispenser mechanism while the refrigerator is
connected.
• DO NOT refreeze foods which have already thawed.
The Department of Agriculture of the United States, in
your Bulletin of Home and Gardens No. 69 establishes
that:
“...You can refreeze food that has thawed if they contain
ice crystals or are cold and below 40 °F (4 °C)”.
“...Ground beef, perishable food or seafood that is
discolored or has an unpleasant odor should not be
frozen or consumed. Consumption of melted ice cream
should also be avoided. If the odor or color of food is
questionable, discard it. The food may be dangerous to
consume”.
“Partial thawing or refreezing reduces the quality of the
food, especially fruit, vegetables and prepared meals.
The quality of red meat is less affected than that of
other foods. Use refrozen products as soon as possible
in order to maintain their quality”.
