Electrical Information
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in the design of this refrigerator/freezer will
operate properly.
Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The
power cord of the freezer is equipped with at three-
prong grounding plug for protection against shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly in to its own
properly grounded three-prong receptacle, protected
with a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker. The
receptacle must be installed in accordance with the local
codes and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Receptacles with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
(GFCI) are NOT RECOMMENDED.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR AN
ADAPTER PLUG.
If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more,
refrigerator/freezer performance may be affected.
Operating the refrigerator/freezer with insufficient power
can damage the motor. Such damage is not covered
under the warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high
or low, consult your power company for testing.
To prevent the refrigerator/freezer from being turned off
accidentally, do not plug the unit in to an outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord.
Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any
manner.
NEVER UNPLUG THE REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER
BY PULLING ON THE POWER CORD. ALWAYS
GRIP THE PLUG FIRMLY AND PULL STRAIGHT
OUT FROM THE RECEPTACLE.
TURNING THE CONTROL TO “OFF” TURNS OFF
THE COMPRESSOR BUT DOES NOT
DISCONNECT POWER TO OTHER ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
