Electrical Connection
The frequency and nominal voltage requirements for the
unit are specified on the data plate, which is located on
the interiors upper left side. Only plug the unit into a
power source that meets these requirements.
Low line
voltage is often the cause of service complaints.
With the unit running, check that the line voltage is
within ±10% of that specified on the data plate.
The power cord on most units has a three prong (ground-
ing) plug (NEMA 5-15P). This plug mates with a standard
three prong (grounding) wall receptacle (NEMA 5-15R) to
minimize the potential of an electrical shock hazard.
Where necessary models are equipped with a linecord
and NEMA 5-20P plug. This plug requires a NEMA 5-20R
receptacle.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to verify the receptacle
is properly grounded and meets power requirements
specified on the data plate.
Where a two prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the user to
have it replaced with a properly grounded three prong
receptacle.
During compressor start-up, the unit will momentarily
draw more current than under normal running conditions.
To avoid nuisance tripping of circuit breakers, it may be
necessary to install an HACR rated breaker.
Caution
Be sure that the power supply is the
same voltage that is specified on the
refrigerator's data plate.
Warning
Insufficient line voltage is often the
cause of compressor start-up failure.
It is strongly recommended that a
dedicated circuit, conforming to the
National Electrical Code, Article 440,
be used for powering the refrigera-
tor..
Warning
DO NOT under any circumstances cut
or remove the third (ground) prong
from the power cord. DO NOT use a
two-prong adapter plug.
Warning
For personal safety this unit must be
properly grounded.
Warning
Do not use an extension cord. Use
of an ungrounded cord or an over-
loaded circuit VOIDS the compres-
sor warranty.
