IMPORTANT SAfETY INSTRUCTIONS

follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

technician.

WARNING

These Guidelines Must Be followed To Ensure That Safety

Mechanisms In This Refrigerator Will Operate Properly.

ELECTRICAL INfORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own

dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC only electrical

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. Avoid

connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI)

circuit. Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by

an authorized service technician to prevent any risk.

• 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.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• 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 electrical outlet controlled by

a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from

being turned off accidentally.

IMPORTANT

Pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3 seconds, located on

the left side of the temperature control panel (Electronic controls),

or turning the Freezer and Fresh Food controls to "0" (Mechanical

controls) will disable your refrigerator's cooling system, but does

not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical

components. To turn off power to your refrigerator you must

unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

CAUTION

To avoid personal injury or

property damage, handle

tempered glass shelves

carefully. Shelves may break

suddenly if nicked, scratched, or

exposed to sudden temperature

change.
