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
Plug 1: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused,
grounded (earthed) electrical supply is required.
Plugs 2 and 3: A 220/240 Volt/50 Hz or 220 Volt/60Hz AC
only 10 ampere fused and grounded (earthed) 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, turn the control, (Thermostat,
Refrigerator 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 or Freezer Control depending on
the model) to the desired setting.
