Electrical information
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its
own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp,
AC only electrical outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug for your protection
against electrical shock hazards. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded
three prong receptacle. The receptacle must
be installed in accordance with local codes
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician.
Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure
that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator
will operate properly.
IMPORTANT
P
ressing and holding the On/Off button for
three seconds, located on the temperature
control panel (Electronic controls), or turning
the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to
“0” (Mechanical controls) will disable your
refrigerator’s cooling system, but does not
disconnect the power to the light bulb and
other electrical components. To turn off power
to your refrigerator you must unplug the
power cord from the electrical outlet.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage,
handle tempered glass shelves carefully. Shelves
may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by an authorized service
technician to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
refrigerator with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is
not covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an electrical outlet
controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to
prevent the refrigerator from being turned
off accidentally.
Proper Disposal of your Refrigerator
or Freezer
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators or freezers are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If
you are getting rid of your old refrigerator or
freezer, please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Proper Disposal of Refrigerators/Freezers
We strongly encourage responsible appliance
recycling/disposal methods. Check with your
utility company or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old refrigerator.
Before you throw away your old
refrigerator/freezer:
• Remove
doors.
• Leave
shelves in
place so
children may
not easily
climb inside.
• Have
refrigerant
removed by
a qualified
service technician.
