Safety
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.
Electrical information
WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator's safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• 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.
IMPORTANT
To turn off power to your refrigerator, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
