TO CONNECT
ELECTRICITY
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance
must be
properly
grounded.
Have the wall outlet and the circuit
checked by a qualified
electrician
to make sure the
outlet is properly
grounded.
USE OF EXTENSION
CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, the use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-
listed (USA), 3-wire
grounding
type appliance
extension
cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet, and that
the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
3-prong

type

RECOMMENDED
GROUNDING
METHOD
The refrigerator
should always be plugged
into its own
individual
properly
grounded
electrical
outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance
and also prevents
overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated
wires. It is recommended
that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
Use a receptacle
that cannot be turned off: with a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard
two-prong
wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal
responsibility
and obligation
to have
it replaced
with a properly
grounded
three-prong
wall
outlet.
