Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle -._ 3-prong grounding _cesnu re proper ound exists fore use. RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electri_l 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 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.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS Because of _tential safebj hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the u_ of an extension cord. 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. 6
