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.
