Risk Of Child Entrapment; Cfc Disposal - LG LFX25980 Serie Guia Para El Uso E Instrucciones De Instalacion

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• 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.

Risk of Child Entrapment

Junked 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.

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.

(CONT.)
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces 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 to save as much of their quality as
you can.
