WARNING: ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT - SHOCK HAZARD
Electrical Requirement
•
Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (120 volts, 15 amp outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
•
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding
prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and may
result in shock hazard.
WARNING: USE OF EXTENSION CORDS- POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD
Use of Extension Cords
Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that will
accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD LONGER THAN 12 FT.
Installation Limitations
•
Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or
heated, e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in
temperature settings below 55° Fahrenheit.
•
Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away
from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with the
leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
