Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
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.

Electrical Information
• The appliance 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.
• Immediately repair or replace any power
cord that becomes frayed or damaged.
• Never unplug the unit 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 unit 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 unit 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 unit from being turned off
accidentally.
• Avoid connecting unit to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
