USE OF EXTENSION CORD
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
15 A (minimum) and 120 V, 220 V or 115 V (according to the National rating).
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 127 V ~ 60 Hz, AC or 115 V ~ 60 Hz, AC (According to National rating) only and fused at 15 or 20 A.
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.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.
