Electrical Connection
This refrigerator or freezer should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
refrigerator or freezer is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong
wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord
supplied. For personal safety, this refrigerator or freezer must be properly grounded. Any questions
concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized
service center.
This refrigerator or freezer requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC ~60Hz three-prong grounded
electrical outlet. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the refrigerator or freezer and not
left exposed or dangling.
The refrigerator or freezer should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the refrigerator or freezer. This provides the
best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard
from overheating. Never unplug the refrigerator or freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip
the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. 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 refrigerator or freezer, be
careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this refrigerator or freezer. However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type refrigerator or
freezer extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is
damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or an authorized service center.
