ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

!WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are operating correctly.

•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.

IMPORTANT

To turn off power to your refrigerator, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
