with your utility company or visit www.
energystar.gov/recycle for more information on recycling your old appliance.
Before you throw away your old appliance:

Electrical information
• Plug the appliance into its own dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., 15 Amp, AC
only electrical outlet. The power cord
of the appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. Plug it directly into a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle. Install
the receptacle in accordance with
local codes and ordinances. Consult a
qualified electrician. Avoid connecting the appliance to a Ground Fault
Interrupter (GFI) circuit. Do not use
an extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, an
authorized service technician should
replace it to prevent any risk.
• Never unplug the appliance 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 appliance before cleaning and before replacing the AC LED
light bulb to avoid electrical shock.
Use only a 5-watt or less AC LED
light bulb.
• Performance may be aected if the
voltage varies by 10% or more. Operating the appliance with insucient
power can damage the compressor.
Such damage is not covered under

If you are throwing away your old
appliance, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
