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.
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
"O" (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator's cooling system, but does not
