Safety
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz.,
AC-only electric outlet. The power cord of the appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an extension
cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by
the manufacturer, service technician or a qualified
person to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out
from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power
cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before
replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by
10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with
insufficient power can damage the compressor. Such
damage is not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off
accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI) circuit.
