EXISTS BEFORE USE
■
■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.
