IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTING ELECTRICITY
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
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 wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not
recommended for the refrigerator outlet.
The refrigerator 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.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip 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 refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power
cord.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for particular
electrical system specifications for this refrigerator.
PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
WARNING
Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result
in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the
disposal about what to do.
REFRIGERANTS
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard.
Built-in style models are top heavy, especially with any doors open. These models must be secured with
the anti-tip floor bracket to prevent tipping forward, which could result in death or serious injury. Read
and follow the entire installation instructions for installing the anti-tip floor bracket packed with your
refrigerator.
