Electrical & Grounding Requirements; Recommended Grounding Method - KENMORE ELITE 111.7269 Serie Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

Y our 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

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
1 1 5 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 1 5 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.
CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use.
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.
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 1 5 amperes (minimum)
and 1 20 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
