TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch
or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
recommended.
However, if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL- listed (USA),
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of
the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed
for the back of the refrigerator.
WARNING
this appliance must be properly
grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by
grounded.
