TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, 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 pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, 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, turn the control (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect
the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the
control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.
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 still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed (USA), 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.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service 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 the plug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances between
the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful
closing doors when children are in the area.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance
with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped
to the front of the refrigerator.
• Don’t touch the lamp. If it is on for a long time, it can
become very hot.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of Agriculture in
Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—below
40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-
odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be
eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded. If the odor
or color of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating
quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared
foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected less than
that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible to save as much of their quality as you can.
