Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochtorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

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 that cannot be turned off with a switch or putt chain. Do not use an extension cord.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety' hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension cord is nat
recommended. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL- listed (USA),
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.
