• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The refrigerator
Safety Information
should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading of house wiring
circuits, which could overheat the wires and cause a re hazard.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock of re.
• Do not use a power cord that has cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy objects on it.

investigate or repair any part of the appliance. Power leakages can cause severe electric shock.
• Never use gas pipes, telephone lines, or other potential lightning attractors as an electrical ground.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or electric shocks
caused by current leakage from the refrigerator.
- This may result in an electric shock, re, explosion, or problems with the product.
- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 V, 10 A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
