They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves. •Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing 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 wire filament.

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic icemaking 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 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. 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. • Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It will cause electric shock or fire. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
