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.
9) Do not refreeze foods that 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
〃
...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.
〃
10) This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in in an enclosed cabinet. It is designed for
freestanding installation only.
11) Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

freezer compartment, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these
extremely cold surfaces.
