NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a
location that receives direct sunlight or heat. Do not install the
refrigerator in a location where the temperature will fall below
55°F (13°C).
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension
cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, shut cooling OFF by turning the control to
the “0” position, as shown. Disconnect the refrigerator from the
electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature
control to the desired setting. See “Using the Control.”
