USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
If you have only a standard
2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator 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 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.
