Warning
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical
outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with
a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
electrical shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle
must be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Avoid
connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)
circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by an
authorized service technician to prevent any risk.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient
power can damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.
