Electrical information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into
its own dedicated 10 amp, 115 Volt, 60
Hz. AC only electric outlet. The power
cord of the appliance is equipped
with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be
installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified
electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer,
service technician, or a qualified
person.

IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have
a cooling system that used CFCs
or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs
and HCFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone if released to the
atmosphere. Other refrigerants may
also cause harm to the environment if
released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old
refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under
provisions of environmental legislation.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly, and pull straight out from
the receptacle to prevent damaging the
power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to
avoid electrical shock.
•
Performance may be affected if
the voltage varies by 10% or more.
Operating the unit with insufficient
power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the
warranty. If you suspect your household
voltage is high or low, consult your
power company for testing.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord
to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a
Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI).
