IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read
all of the instructions
before
using
this appliance.
When
using
this appliance,
always
exercise
basic
safety
precautions,
including
the following:
1) Use this appliance
only for its intended purpose as described in this use
and care guide.
2) This appliance
must be properly
installed in accordance
with the
installation
instructions before it is used. See grounding
instructions
in the
installation
section.
3) This appliance
should
not be recessed
or built-in
an enclosed
cabinet.
It is
designed
for freestanding
installation
only.
4) Never
unplug
your
appliance
by pulling
on the power
cord.
Always
grasp
the plug
firmly
and pull straight
out from
the outlet.
5) 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,
the plug or the connector
end.
6) If your
old appliance
is not being
used,
we recommend
that you remove
the doors.
This will reduce
the possibility
of danger
to children.
7) After
your
freezer
is in operation,
do not touch
the cold surfaces
in the
freezer
compartment,
particularly
when
hands
are damp
or wet. Skin
may
adhere
to these extremely
cold
surfaces.
8) Do not refreeze
foods,
which
have
been
thawed
completely.
The United
States
Department
of Agriculture
in Home
and Garden
Bulletin
No. 69
reads:
"...You
may safely
refreeze
frozen
foods
that have thawed
if they
still contain
ice crystals
or if they
are still cold-below
40°F''
"...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 question-
able,
discard
it. The food
may be dangerous
to eat."
"...Even
partial
thawing
and re-freezing
reduce
the eating
quality
of
foods,
particularly
fruits,
vegetables,
and
prepared
foods.
The eating
qual-
ity of red meats
is affected
less than
that of many
other foods.
Use
refrozen
foods
as soon
as possible,
to save as much
of they're
eating
quality
as you can."
9) Do not use any electrical
device
or any sharp
instrument
in defrosting
your
freezer.
10) Do
not attempt
to remove
or adjust
the interior
storage
shelves.
