TURNING ON YOUR REFRIGERATOR
WARNING: Electrical Connections
•This appliance should be properly grounded for your
safety.
•This refrigerator’s power cord is equipped with a
three-prong plug which connects to standard three-
prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of
electrical shock.
•Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
•This refrigerator requires a standard 115/120V AC
60 Hz electrical grounded outlet with three prongs.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure that the outlet is
properly grounded.
•When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-
prong wall outlet.
•The cord should be secured behind the appliance
and not left exposed or dangling to prevent
accidental injury.
•The appliance should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating label on the appliance. This
provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a
fire hazard from overheating.
•Never unplug the appliance by pulling the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
•Immediately repair or replace all power cords that
are frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either end. When moving the appliance,
be careful not to damage the power cord.
WARNING: Extension Cords
•Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do
not use an extension cord with this appliance.
•If an extension cord is needed, you must use a
UL/CUL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord that has a grounding-type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be
115 volts and at least 10 amperes.
WARNING: Surge Protectors
•Most electrical appliances use a series of electric
control boards to operate. These boards are very
susceptible to power surges and could be damaged
or destroyed.
•If your refrigerator is going to be used in an area
prone to power surges/outages, it is suggested that
you use a power surge protector for all electrical
devices/appliances that you use. The surge
protector that you select must have a surge block
high enough to protect the appliance it is connected
to. If you have any questions regarding the type and
size of surge protector needed, contact a licensed
electrician in your area.
•Damages due to power surges are not considered a
manufacturer covered defect and will void your
product warranty.
1. After moving your refrigerator or reversing the doors,
wait two hours before turning it on. This reduces the
chance of a malfunction in the cooling system from
handling and transportation.
2. Plug your refrigerator’s power cord into a grounded
power outlet. Your refrigerator automatically turns on.
3. Set the refrigerator and freezer temperatures to
RECOMMENDED. See “Adjusting the temperature” on
page 11 for more detailed instructions.
4. Let your refrigerator run for at least four hours. When
your refrigerator has fully chilled, place your food in
your refrigerator and freezer compartments.
