• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI
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.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced
by the manufacturer, service technician, or a
qualified person.
• 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.
• To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator
before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb or
LED light.
• 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.

Safety
WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator’s safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
IMPORTANT
CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your 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.
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.
