REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION
To reduce the electrical shock or injury when using the refrigerator, follow basic
precautions including the following:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong GFI outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an
adaptor. Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly
recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this appliance. However, if you
must use an extension cord it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire
grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 15 amperes.
• It is recommended the refrigerator be plugged into its own circuit. Use receptacles that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power cord of
the unit is disconnected.
