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.

WARNING

These guidelines must be followed to ensure

that safety mechanisms in this refrigerator

will operate properly.

three seconds, located on the temperature

control panel (Electronic controls), or turning

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.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground

extension cord or adapter plug.

• 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

CFC/HCFC Disposal
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons

or hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs

are believed to harm stratospheric ozone if

released to the atmosphere. Other refrigerants

may also cause harm to the environment if

released to the atmosphere.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator,

make sure the refrigerant is removed for

proper disposal by a qualified technician. If

you intentionally release refrigerant, you may

be subject to fines and imprisonment under

provisions of environmental legislation.
