REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
ENGLISH
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of injury when using your refrigerator, follow these basic safety precautions.
¿
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. Glass shelves and covers may
break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or
impact, such as bumping or dropping. Tempered glass is
designed to shatter into many small pieces if it breaks.
¿
Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances
between the doors and between the doors and cabinet
are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when
children are in the area.
¿
Do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer
compartment when hands are damp or wet, skin may
stick to these extremely cold surfaces.
¿
Do not refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely.
¿
In refrigerators with automatic ice makers, avoid contact
with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or
with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do
not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making
mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
