HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Refrigerator MUST be plugged into a
functioning GFCI circuit.
Test your circuit
by plugging your refrigerator into the
outlet and pressing the test button for that
circuit, verifying that the unit turns off
(the light will not work with the door
open). Then press the Reset button and
confirm that the light comes on with the
door open. If you do not know if you have
a GFCI circuit, contact a qualified
electrician for assistance.
Do not place the unit in standing water or
allow the power cord to be immersed.
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 electrical outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong electrical
outlet is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The appliance should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the 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 appliance, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Do not use an adapter plug to connect the
refrigerator to a 2-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
