Becauseof potentialsafetyhazards
undercertainconditions,we
stronglyrecommendagainstthe

if you stillelect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutelynecessarythat
it be a UL 1isted3-wiregrounding

outletand thatthe electricalrating
of the cord be 15amperes
(minimum)and 120volts.
The refrigerator shouki always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical outM-
(115volt,60 Hertz,or 100volt,50
Hertz,singlephaseAC).Thisis
recommended for bestperformance
andto preventoverloading house
wiringcircuits,whichcouldcausea
fue hazardfromoverheating wires.
Refrigerator L ocation
