Safety

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• Refer to the serial plate for correct electrical rating. The power cord of the

refrigerator is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection
against shock hazards. It must be plugged directly into its own properly
grounded three-prong receptacle, protected with a 15 amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker. The power supply circuit must be installed in accordance with
current edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and local codes and
ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. Receptacles
protected by Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
are NOT RECOMMENDED. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD OR AN ADAPTER PLUG.

• If the voltage varies by 10 percent or more, refrigerator

performance may be affected. Operating the refrigerator
with insufficient power can damage the motor. Such
damage is not covered under the warranty. If you
suspect your household voltage is high or low, consult
your power company for testing.

• To prevent the refrigerator from being turned off

accidentally, do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Do not pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any manner.

OTHER PRECAUTIONS

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the

plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

• Turning the control to "OFF" turns off the compressor but does not disconnect

power to the light bulb or other electrical components.

WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug. Do not
remove any prong from the power cord.

WARNING

You must follow these guidelines to ensure that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
