GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT: Please read arefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded ele tri al outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performan e and also prevents
overloading house wiring ir uits whi h ould ause a fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is re ommended that a
separate ir uit serving only this applian e be provided.
Use a re epta le whi h annot be turned off with a swit h
or pull hain. Do not use an extension ord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is en ountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
repla ed with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
leaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the ontrol
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer Control,
depending on the model) to OFF and then dis onne t the
refrigerator from the ele tri al sour e. When you are
finished, re onne t the refrigerator to the ele tri al sour e
and reset the ontrol (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or
Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired
setting.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still ele t to use
an extension ord, it is absolutely ne essary that it be a
UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type applian e
extension ord having a grounding type plug and outlet,
and that the ele tri al rating of the ord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension ord will in rease the learan e
needed for the ba k of the refrigerator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
• Repair or repla e immediately all ele tri servi e ords that
have be ome frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a
ord that shows ra ks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or onne tor end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be
areful not to roll over or damage the power ord.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; learan es between
the doors and abinet are ne essarily small. Be areful
losing doors when hildren are in the area.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in a ordan e
with the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to
the front of the refrigerator.
• Don’t tou h the lamp, in ase of light on the long time,
Be ause it an be very hot.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods whi h have thawed
ompletely. The United States Department of Agri ulture in
Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still ontain i e rystals or if they are still old—below
40°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any off-
odor or off- olor should not be refrozen and should not be
eaten. Thawed i e ream should be dis arded. If the odor
or olor of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing redu es the eating
quality of foods, parti ularly fruits, vegetables and prepared
foods. The eating quality of red meats is affe ted less than
that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as
possible to save as mu h of their quality as you an.
