NODEFROSTING
Itisnot irecessaryto defrost the fresh food
section of your refrigerator: it wilfdefrost
itsrdi automatically.
ffyou shut off the house power for extend-
ed vacations,remove food and clean inter-
iorwithsoda soIutionusingone tablespoon
ofsoda per each quart of water. Wipe dry.
To prevent formation of odor, place open
boxof soda in refrigerator and leave doors
open.
If you leave for shorter absences, remove
perishable foods and leave control dials at
normal setting.If,however,room tempera-
ture is expected to go below 60°F., turn
control diafs to OFF, remove food, cIean
interior, leavedoors open and remove plug
from waflreceptacle.
Ifyouhavean icemaker, flipmanualswitch
to OFF position and be sure to shut off
water supply to icemaker. (Ask instaIIerto
point out Iocationof shut-off vaIveat time
of installation.)
Disconnect power cord from wall recepta-
cle. Remove all foods and clean interior.
Such loose items as grille, shelves, storage
pans, ice trays, ice storage bucket, covers
and removable parts should be protected
or secured with tape. This prevents their
coming loose and causing damage. Your
refrigerator ison wheels; be sure it is prop-
erlysecured in movingvan to prevent roll-
ingand damage. Hundlewith care: exterior
should be protected withblanket covering.
The suggestions noted below apply to the
operation of your household electric re-
frigerator. The General Electric Company
recommends these safety precautions:
1. If youro]d refrigerator isstilfaround the
housebut not inuse, be sure to remove the
doors. This wilI reduce the possibility of
danger to children.
2. Some refrigerators are equipped with
automatic icemakers. Do not place fingers
or hands on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator is
phrggedin. This wilI prevent contact with
themovingparts of the ejector mechanism,
or with the heating element that releases
the cubes.
3. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet (115volt,60cycie, single phase AC).
This isrecommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house wiring
circuits, which could cause apossible fire {
hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because
of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, westrongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still elect to use an extension cord, it
isabsolutelynecessary that it be aULlisted
3-wiregrounding type appliance extension
cord and that the current carrying rating
of the cord in amperes be equal to or great-
er than the branch circuit size shown on
the rating nameplate of this appliance.
Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
4. Repair or replace immediately all elec-
tric service cords tbat bave become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use acord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along itslength or at either the plug or con-
nector end.
5. Never unplug your refrigerator by pull-
ing on the wire. Alwaysgrip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with roll-
ers so that it can be easily moved out from
the walLWhen rollingout the refrigerator
be careful not to rollover the service cord. ‘
7. Do no! operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
8. Aburned-out light bulb might break
when being replaced. In order to avoid
contact with alive wire filament, it is rec-
ommended that the refrigerator first be un-
plugged when replacing alight bulb.
Note: Turning control to OFF position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
9. Always remove the power cord from
walloutlet before removing the base grille.
10. Don’trefreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely urdess you cook them
after they have thawed. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden BulletinNo. 69 says, “... if foods
“havethawed only partially and there are
stilI ice crystals in the package, they may
safely be refrozen ...Refrozen food should
be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have
warmed gradually over aperiod of several
days to atemperature of 40°F., they are
not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under
these conditions, meats, poultry, most veg-
etables and some prepared foods may be-
come unsafe to eat: most fruits and fruit I
products soon develop an undesirable
flavor.”
Also note and follow other precaatiO)l~
contained in t}~is Use 8. Care Book.
