IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read All Instructions Before Using This Appliance.
A
WARNING—When using this appliance,
always exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
●
Use
this appliance only for its intended purpose
described in this Use and Care Book.
This freezer must properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. See
grounding instructions in
this book.
●
This freezer should not be recessed or built
it is designed for free-standing installation only.
Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the
power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
●
Repair or replace immediately all electric service
cords that have
frayed or otherwise
damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
or connector end.
When moving your freezer be careful not to
roll over the power cord.
After your freezer is in operation, do not touch
the cold surfaces, particularly when hands are
damp or wet.
Skin may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.
Don’t refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Dept. of
Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin
No. 69 says:
“..
may safely refreeze frozen foods that have
thawed if they still contain ice crystals or they
are still cold—below
“
●
“..
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.
“..
partial thawing and refreezing 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—they won’t keep as long as foods frozen
only once, and the sooner they’re used, the better
their eating will be.”
If your old freezer is still around the house but
not in use, be sure to remove the lid or door.
This will reduce the possibility of danger to children.
.
Caution should be used when removing the
door of a freezer.
Particular caution should be
used when removing the lid of a chest freezer, as
most chest freezer lids are under spring tension.
Contact the manufacturer’s representative for a
method of safe removal.
