Electrical Information

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 qualifi ed 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 qualifi ed person.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug fi rmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent
damaging the power cord.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the unit or switch
the breaker that supplies power to the unit to the
off position 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
insuffi cient 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.
To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or
switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to
the off position.
