WARNING
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
appliances are still dangerous – even if they
will sit for "just a few days". If you are getting
rid of your old appliance, please follow the
instructions below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods. Check
with your utility company or visit www.
recyclemyoldfridge.com for more information
on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away
your old appliance:
• Remove door.
• Leave shelves in place so
children may not easily
climb inside.
• Have the refrigerant
removed by a
qualified technician.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use
an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not
remove any prong from power cord.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under
any circumstances,
cut, remove,
or bypass the
grounding prong.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Electrical Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in the design of this
appliance will operate properly.
• The unit 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 the local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Receptacles protected by Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are NOT
RECOMMENDED. Do NOT use an exten-
sion 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 appliance 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 voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the unit
with insufficient power can damage the
compressor. Such damage is not covered
under the warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the appliance 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.
