holes are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the
refrigerator can become overcooled.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs(chlorouorocarbons).CFCsarebelievedtoharm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by
aqualiedservicer.IfyouintentionallyreleasetheCFC
refrigerant,youcanbesubjecttonesandimprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

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amperes.This
provides the best performance and also prevents over-
loadinghousewiringcircuitswhichcouldcauseare
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.
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.

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 CSA-listed 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.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard
