Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility
company or visit www.energystar.gov/recycle for
more information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove doors.
• Leave shelves in
place so children
may not easily
climb inside.
• Have refrigerant
removed by a
qualified service
technician.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons
or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs
are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if
released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants
may also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,
make sure the refrigerant is removed for
proper disposal by a qualified technician. If
you intentionally release refrigerant, you may
be subject to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator
will operate properly.
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 protec-
tion 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 electri-
cian. Avoid connecting refrigerator to a
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 refrig-
erator with insufficient power can damage
the compressor. Such damage is not covered
under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet con-
trolled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
IMPORTANT
Pressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel (Electronic controls), or
turning the Freezer and Fresh Food controls
to "0" (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator's cooling system, but does not
disconnect the power to the lighting system
and other electrical components. To turn off
power to your refrigerator you must unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet.

temperature change.
Do not, under any
circumstances,
cut, remove, or
bypass the
grounding prong.
