HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.

Thepower cord ofthis appliance isequipped
with a 3-prong (grounding)plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding)wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock

hazard from this appliance.
Have thewall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
isproperly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, itisyour personal responsibility

and obligation to have it replacedwith a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Therefrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has

a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Thisprovidesthe best performance and also
preventsoverloading housewiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling

on the power cord.Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repairor replace immediately all power cords
that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Donot usea cord that shows cracksor abrasion

damage along its length or at eitherend.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful notto rollover or damage the power cord.

Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However,ifyou must usean extensioncord, itis
absolutely necessarythat it be a UL-listed,3-wire

grounding type appliance extensioncord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that

the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum)and 120volts.

the temperature gou hQveset.

The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F
for the fresh food compartment and O°Ffor the freezer
compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize
to the preset recommended settings.

The temperature controls can display both the SETtemperature

i

as well as the actual temperature in the flesh food and freezer
compartments. The actual temperature may vary slightly

from the SET temperature based on usage and operating
environment.

Setting either or both controls to OFF stops cooling in both
the freezer and fresh food compartments, but does not shut
off electrical power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering
the temperature controls. If this film was not removed during

The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F(1°C),then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. After
8 hours, or if TURBOCOOLis pressed again,
the refrigerator compartment will return
to the original setting.

NOTES:
