Connect Electricity - GE 20 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Do not use an
adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
WARNING
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result
in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT:
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you
are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or
Freezer:
■ Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
■ Leave the shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
(CONT.)
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power 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 end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
Refrigerants
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which
under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling the disposal
about what to do.
