SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the

installation instructions before it is used. See grounding instructions in the

installation section.

3) Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always

grasp the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

4) 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.

5) Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: If for any reason this product requires service, we strongly

recommend that a certified technician performs the service.

6) Do not use any electrical device or any sharp instrument in defrosting your

refrigerator.

7) If your old refrigerator is not being used, we recommend that you remove

the doors and leave the shelves in place. This will reduce the possibility of

danger to children.

8) 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 these extremely cold surfaces.

9) 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

questionable, 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

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 its eating quality

as you can."

Electrical Requirement

• Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet)

with proper grounding to power the refrigerator.

• Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in

order to accommodate a two plug outlet. This is a dangerous practice

since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may

result in shock hazard.

• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or

heated e.g. garage etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in

temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.

• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even

surface away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators,

baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc. Any floor unevenness

should be corrected with the leveling legs located on the front bottom

corners of the refrigerator.

Fresh Food

• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or

store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise

noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of

odors and tastes.

• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.

• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to

maximize shelf life.

• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low

humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crispers place the items

in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.

• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and

stored in crisper with low humidity setting.

• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in

plastic bags or containers in crisper with high humidity setting.

• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.

This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.

• When storing meats in the fresh food section, keep in the original

packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for

safe storage:

• Chicken 1-2 Days

• Ground Beef 1-2 Days

• Cold Cuts 3-5 Days

• Steaks/Roasts 3-5 Days

• Smoked/Cured Meats 7-10 Days

• All others 1-2 Days

If longer periods of storage are required, store immediately in the freezer

section.

MESURES DE SECURITE

Lire l’ensemble des instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.

Lors de l’utilisation de cet appareil, prendre toutes les

mesures de sécurité de base, y compris les suivantes:

1) N’utiliser cet appareil que pour l’usage pour lequel il est prévu, tel qu’il est

indiqué dans le guide d’utilisation et d’entretien.

2) Ce réfrigérateur doit être correctement installé conformément aux

instructions d’installation avant d’être utilisé. Consulter les instructions

de mise à la terre du chapitre Installation.

3) Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon d’alimentation pour débrancher le

réfrigérateur. Toujours saisir fermement la fiche et la retirer

complètement de la prise.

4) Réparer ou remplacer immédiatement tout cordon électrique effiloché ou

endommagé d’une quelconque manière. Ne pas utiliser un cordon fissuré,

abrasé ou dont la prise ou le connecteur est endommagé.

5) Débrancher le réfrigérateur avant de le nettoyer ou d’effectuer des

réparations. Remarque: Si ce produit doit faire l’objet d’une

maintenance pour quelque raison que ce soit, il est vivement

recommandé de confier cette tâche à un technicien agréé.

6) Ne pas utiliser d’appareils électriques ou d’objets pointus pour dégivrer le

réfrigérateur.

7) Si vous n’avez plus l’usage de votre ancien réfrigérateur, nous vous

conseillons d’en retirer les portes. Ceci permet d’éviter tout danger

potentiel pour les enfants.

8) Une fois le réfrigérateur en fonctionnement, ne pas toucher les surfaces

froides du compartiment de congélation, en particulier avec des mains

mouillées ou humides. La peau risquerait d’adhérer à ces surfaces

extrêmement froides.

9) Ne pas recongeler les aliments qui ont été complètement décongelés. Le

bulletin Maisons et Jardins du Ministère de l’Agriculture des États-Unis n

69 stipule que: " ...Les aliments congelés peuvent être recongelés en toute

sécurité s’ils contiennent toujours des cristaux de glace ou si leur

température reste inférieure à 4,5°C".

" …Les viandes hachées, la volaille et le poisson présentant une odeur

désagréable ou une couleur suspecte ne doivent ni être recongelés, ni être

consommés. La crème glacée dégelée doit être jetée. Tout aliment

présentant une odeur ou couleur douteuse doit être jeté. L’ingestion d’un

aliment de ce type peut s’avérer dangereuse. "
