Becauseof potentialsafety
hazardsundercertainconditions,
we stronglyrecommendagainstthe
use of an extensioncord. However,
if youstillelectto use an extension
cord, it is absolutelynecessarythat
it be a UL listed3-wiregrounding
typeappliance extension cordhaving
a groundingtypeplugandoutlet
and thatthe electricalratingof the
cord be 15amperes(minimum) and
1
volts.
The refrigeratorshoukll a lways
be phgged into its own
individualelectricaloutlet—
(115 volt,
6
Hertz, or 100volt,50
Hertz, singlephaseAC).,Thisis
recommendedfor bestperformance
and to preventoverloading house
wiringcircuits,whichcouldcausea
fire hazardfromoverheating wires.
