IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat,
Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the
model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from

the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the

refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to the desired setting.

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
UL-listed (in the United States), 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.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.

Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.

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
