The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says: V'¢ARNING_When using this appliance, always exercise basic sabty precautions, including the following: "_You may safety refreeze frozen Foodsthat have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold-below 40 ° F. " Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual r "_,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 " This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions before it is used. See grounding requirements in this book • Never unplug your refrigerator 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 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 the power cord. • After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, rid of iL The food may be dangerous to eat. "Even 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 reffozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their eating quality as you can " • If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the doors. This will reduce the possibility of danger to children. • Do not allow children to climb, sit, stand or hang on the shelves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual. - If your refrigerator has an icemaker, do not place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in. This will help protect you from possible injury It will also prevent interference with the moving parts of theejector mechanism, or with the heating element thatreleases thecubes • Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Grounding Requirements To connect 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 wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced ) NOTE: Turning control to OFF position does not remove power to the light circuiL SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS important--Please read carefully. Have wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure outlet is properly grounded electricity For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. get PREFERRED The power cord of this appliance is equipped /]1 iNSURE PROPER with a three-prong /// GROUND EXISTS • " BEFORE USE (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong (grounding} wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet DO NO1, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD_ Starting the Refrigerator Use of adapter plug Location Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.. - Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. " Do not install it where the temperature wilt go below 60°E because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures. • Do not install it next to your range, a heating vent or where the sun wilt shine directly on it The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections: power cord. Sides ........ 3/4" CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring You should have circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded, When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established. Use of Extension Cords Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and ! 20 volts. Electrical Requirements The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overfoading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheating wires Clearances Top Rollers/Leveling ......... 1" Back .......... 1" Legs Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator are adiustable. They firmly position the refrigerator and prevent it from opening when the doors are closed They should be set so the front is raised iust enough that the doors close easily when opened about halfway Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Rollers next to the leveling legs enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning. Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the refrigerator is transferred from the legs fo the rollers After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs clockwise until the legs again support the refrigerator. Temperature Control The temperature control dial has nine settings plus OFF. "1" is the warmest, "9" is the coldest.. Initially set the temperature control dial at "5:' AFter using the refrigerator, adjust the temperature control if necessary, lnsert a coin into the slot in the middle of lhe dial and you can turn the dial to the setting that is best suited to your needs. Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.

Tips on freezing foods 1. Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality 2. Freeze fruits and vegetables quickly after picking. The sooner you do, the better Ihe frozen product will be, with lessculling and sorting to do. 3. Use food wraps designed especially for freezing. To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping material) forming it carefully to the shape of the contents This expels air Fold and crimp ends of the package to provide a good, lasting seal Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen successfully only once. FREEZER 8-1 2 months 6-8 months Limit freezing of fresh (unFrozen) meats or seafoods to 12 pounds at a time 2-3 months To store ice cream-Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more "airy" alreadypackaged brands with tow cream content. t month max Meats, fish and poultry purchased from the store vary in quality and age; consequently, safe storage times in your' refrigerator wilt vary • Experiment to determine the freezer compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right serving temperature.
