IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING WARNING WARNING
WARNING WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to ensure that safety
mechanisms in this refrigerator will operate properly.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric 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.
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
• Immediately repair or replace any power cord that
becomes frayed or damaged.
• 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 outlet controlled by a wall
switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being
turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor
(GFI) circuit.
IMPORTANT
Turning the Freezer and Fresh Food Controls to "0" turns off
the compressor and prevents your refrigerator from cooling,
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 wall outlet.
