SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read all of the instructions before using this appliance. When using this

appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including

the following:

NOTE: If the refrigerator has been placed in a horizontal or tilted

position for any period of time wait 24 hours before

plugging the unit in.

1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this use

and care guide.

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 electric service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its length, the plug or the

connector end.

5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician performs 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 that 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.
