IMPORTANT–Please Read and Follow!
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
• Contact a qualified electrical installer.
• Read all instructions before using the
refrigerator.
• Observe all local codes and ordinances.
Install refrigerator according to installation
instructions. All connections for water,
electrical power and grounding must
comply with local codes and be made by
licensed personnel when required.
• Do not modify plug on power cord. If plug
does not fit electrical outlet, have proper
outlet installed by a qualified technician.
Replace worn power cords and/or loose
plugs.
• Assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-latest edition or Canadian Electrical
Code C22.1-1998 and C22.2 No. 0-M91
(or latest edition), and all local codes and
ordinances. (115 volt, 60-Hz, 15 amp,
fused, electrical supply is required. It is
required that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided. This appliance
is equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong,
grounding type wall receptacle. If a 2prong receptacle is encountered, the
customer must contact a qualified
electrical installer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle. Do
not use an extension cord or adapter
plug.)
• Do not tamper with refrigerator controls.
• Do not service or replace any part of
refrigerator unless specifically
recommended in Use & Care or Installation
Instructions. Do not attempt service if
instructions are not understood or if they
are beyond personal skill level.
• Always disconnect refrigerator from
electrical supply before attempting to
change light bulbs, clean, or service the
refrigerator. Disconnect the power cord by
grasping the plug, not the cord.
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s
storage and ideal environment instructions
for items being stored in refrigerator.
• Never allow children to operate, play with,
crawl inside or stand on any part of the
refrigerator.
• Never clean refrigerator parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can create a
fire hazard or explosion.
• Clean up spills or water leakage associated
with water installation.
• Keep your refrigerator in good condition.
Bumping or dropping refrigerator can
damage refrigerator or cause refrigerator
to malfunction or leak. If damage occurs,
have refrigerator checked by qualified
service technician.
• Do not ground to a gas line or cold-water
pipe.
• Do not remove warning tag from power
cord.
• Refrigerator is designed to operate on a
separate 115 volt, 15 amp., 60 cycle line.
