BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

(CONT.)

• Do not use drier to dry the inside, nor light a candle to

remove odor.

• Install in places away from the fire such as the place

where flammable gas is leaked.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.

• DO NOT 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 (4°C).

…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, dispose of it. The
food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
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 quality as you can.

CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you
intentionally release this CFC refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.

DANGER

Risk of Child Entrapment

Discarded or abandoned refrigerators are
dangerous, even if they will sit for just a few
days. If you are disposing of your old refrigerator,
please follow the instructions below to help prevent
accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer:

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that children may

not easily climb inside.
