The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60

Hz., AC-only electric out_et. 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 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 LED light 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 outlet controlled by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.

Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
