We strongly encourage responsible appli­ance recycling/disposal methods. Check with your utility company or visit ener­gystar.gov/products/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.

If you are throwing away your old appliance, 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.
