IMPORTANT: Please read carefully. TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY 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. 3-prong grounding plug grounding type 3-prong wall receptacle --...,_/'f4_ gErno_suunred epxroisptesr before use. 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 (in the United States), 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid any hazard. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 volts, 60Hz, 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. NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you 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.
