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,
