WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated
115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 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 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 outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.
