WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can
result in fire, explosion, or death.
INSTALLATION
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. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply
is required. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
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.

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.
Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal. Failure to do so can

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:
Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
