Important Safety Instructions
Electrical information
The refrigerator must be plugged into its
own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,
AC only electrical 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.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug.
If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by an authorized service
technician to prevent any risk.
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.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
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 electrical
outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull
cord to prevent the refrigerator from
being turned off accidentally.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator
you must unplug the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
