CFC DISPOSAL

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that

used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper
disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally
release this CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to
fines and imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT:

Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

A WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must
be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and

the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet

rated for 115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15

or 20 amperes. This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with a

switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an adapter piug.

NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,

cleaning, or removing a light bulb, disconnect the

refrigerator from the electrical source.

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and

service should be performed by a qualified
technician.

When you are are finished, reconnect the refrigerator
to the electrical source and reset the control

(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it

be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a grounding type
plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
