All refrigeration products contain
refrigerants, which under federal law must
be removed prior to product disposal.
MUST
BE CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE WITH GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT
Refrigerator MUST be plugged into a
functioning GFCI circuit. Test your circuit
by plugging your refrigerator into the outlet
and pressing the test button for that circuit,
verifying that the unit turns off (the light will
not work with the door open). Then press
the Reset button and confirm that the light
comes on with the door open. If you do not
know if you have a GFCI circuit, contact a
qualified electrician for assistance.
Do not place the unit in standing water or
allow the power cord to be immersed.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the electrical outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration
product, check with the company handling
the disposal about what to do.
Where a standard 2-prong electrical outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The appliance should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful not
to roll over or damage the power cord.
