Electrical Connection
WARNING
This appliance should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong plug which mates with the 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.
This refrigerator appliance requires a standard 220-240VAC 50Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
This refrigerator appliance is not designed to be used with an inverter.
The cord should be secured behind the appliance and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental
injury.
Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the receptacle.
Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
or service technician install an outlet near the appliance. Use of an extension cord can negatively affect the
performance of the unit.
Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged,
have it replaced by an authorized service centre.
