CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released
to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also
cause harm to the environment if released to the
atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and
imprisonment under provisions of environmental
legislation.

Electrical information

WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator's safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI
electric 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. Do not
use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, service
technician, or a qualified person.
• 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.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the
refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb or LED light.
• 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 outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Do not, under
any circumstances,
