To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following. Read all instructions before using this
appliance:
• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out
from the outlet.
• 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 or at either the plug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage it in any way.
•
Do not crush or damage the water line.

or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•
Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They
could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure
themshelves.
•
Keep
fingers out of ‘pinch point’ areas; clearances
between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small.
Be careful when you open the doors when children are
in the area.
•
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any
repairs.
NOTE
: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
• Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in order to avoid contact with a live filament.
(A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced).
NOTE
: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment, they
may break when frozen, causing damage.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•
The refrigerator-freezer should be positioned so that
the supply plug is accessible for quick disconnection if an
accident happens.
•
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
•
This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance
with the ‘Attention Installer’ instructions that were taped to
the front of the refrigerator.
•
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold
surfaces.
• In refrigerator with automatic icemakers, 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.
•
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 frozen 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.”
“Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating
quality of foods, particulary 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.”
