a qualified technician to maize sure the outlet is properly
grounded.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115
volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. This
provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided. Use a receptacle
which cannot be turned off with a switch or puii chain. Do not
use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wail outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded three-prong wail outlet. Do nob
under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (Ground)
prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control to
the desired setting.
USEOF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension
cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outieh and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and
120 volts. Use of an extension cord wiii increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid
any hazard.
