Electrical Information

You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator's safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• The freezer must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI
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 qualifi ed 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 qualifi ed person.
• Never unplug the freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug fi rmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the freezer
before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb
or LED light.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies
by 10% or more. Operating the freezer with
insuffi cient 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 freezer from
being turned off accidentally.
To disconnect power to the unit, unplug the unit or
switch the breaker that supplies power to the unit to
the off position.
