A

DANGER

I RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous...even

if they will sit for just a few days. If you are getting rid of

your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right

to help prevent accidents (Child entrapment and
suffocation).

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR
OR FREEZER

• Take off the doors.

• Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

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 plug.

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.
