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 technician. If you intentionally release this CFC

refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, the use of an extension cord is not

recommended.

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.

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 that 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.
