Franklin Chef fc501 Betriebsanweisung

   1.  Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual.
   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.  This refrigerator should not be recessed or built-in.  It is designed for free-standing 
        installation only.
   4.  If refrigerator is placed on a counter top or stand, the front surface of the door should 
        be 3" or more back from the edge of the counter top or stand to avoid accidental 
        tipping of the appliance during normal usage.
   5.  Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.  Always grip plug firmly
        and pull straight out from the outlet.
   6.  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 or at either the plug or connector end.
   7.  If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the 
        doors.  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.  Don’t refreeze foods which have been  thawed completely.  The United States Depart-
        ment 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 40ºF.”

        “...  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, get rid of it.  The food may be
        dangerous to eat.”
        “... Even partial thawing and refreezing 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 their eating quality as you can.”
10.  Do not use any electrical device or any sharp  instrument  in defrosting your refrigerator.
11.  Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or before making any repairs.

Note: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

12.  Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Avoid risk of child entrapment!  Before throwing away an old refrigerator or freezer, take
off the doors and remove the shelves so that children cannot easily climb inside.
