Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator Or Freezer - KENMORE ELITE PreView Grab-N-Go Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

• Before replacing a burned-out or broken 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 exposing the wire filament.)
NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and
service should be performed by a qualified technician.
WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF
position does not remove power to the light circuit.
• When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to
the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending
on the model) to the desired setting.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that
were taped to the front of the refrigerator.
• After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the
cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely
cold surfaces.
• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), but which is also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged. Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye
injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in
which the appliance is standing for several minutes.
In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit
occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant
used. The room must be 10.8 square feet (1 square meter) in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the
identification plate inside the appliance. Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If
in doubt, consult your dealer.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even
if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting
rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions
at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and
suffocation).
WARNING
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 39°F (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.
• This product is not to be used for special purposes such
as the storage of medicine or test materials or for use
on ships, etc.
• Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass
surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are cracked
or broken.
