Electrical 

Information

These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety mechanisms in the

this 

refrigerator 

will 

operate 

properly.

 The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only

electrical

The 

power 

cord 

of 

the 

appliance 

is 

equipped 

with 

3-prong

grounding 

plug 

for 

your 

protection 

against 

shock 

hazards. 

It 

must 

be 

plugged

directly 

into 

properly 

grounded 

3-prong 

receptacle. 

The 

receptacle 

must 

be

installed 

in 

accordance 

with 

local 

codes 

and 

ordinances. 

Consult 

qualified

electrician. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.

• If 

voltage 

varies 

by 

10 

percent 

 

or 

more, 

performance 

of 

your 

refrigerator 

may 

be

affected. 

Operating 

the 

refrigerator 

with 

insufficient 

power 

can 

damage 

the

compressor. 

Such 

damage 

is 

not 

covered 

under 

your 

warranty. 

If 

you 

suspect 

your

voltage 

is 

high 

or 

low, 

consult 

your 

power 

company 

for 

testing.

• To 

prevent 

the 

refrigerator 

from 

being 

turned 

off 

accidentally, 

do 

not 

plug 

the 

unit

into 

an 

outlet 

controlled 

by 

wall 

switch 

or 

pull 

cord.

• Do 

not 

pinch, 

knot, 

or 

bend 

the 

power 

cord 

in 

any 

manner.

unplug 

the 

refrigerator

Always 

grip 

the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

plug

firmly 

and

unplug 

the 

refrigerator 

before 

cleaning 

and 

before

replacing 

light 

bulb. 

Note: 

Turning 

the 

control 

to 

OFF 

turns 

off

compressor, 

but

does 

not 

disconnect 

power 

to 

the 

light 

bulb 

or 

other 

electrical 

components.

• Do 

not 

operate 

the 

refrigerator 

in 

the 

presence 

of 

explosive
