USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension
cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed
for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. Use
a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull
chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wail outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet. Do not,
under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (Ground)
prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator
Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF
and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source.
When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the
electrical source and reset the control (thermostat, refrigerator
control or freezer control, depending on the model) to the
desired setting.
