• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The
refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the voltage listed on the
refrigerator’s rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading of
house wiring circuits, which could cause a re hazard from overheated
wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

Safety information
• The refrigerator must be safely grounded.
- Always make sure that you have grounded the refrigerator before
attempting to investigate or repair any part of the appliance. Power
leakages can cause severe electric shock.
• Never use gas pipes, telephone lines, or other potential lightning
attractors as an electrical ground.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or
electric shocks caused by current leakage from the refrigerator.
- Failing to ground the refrigerator may result in an electric shock, re,
explosion, or problems with the product.
- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and insert it into a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be AC 115-120 V, 10 A, or more. If a grounding
adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
• Plug the power plug into the wall socket rmly. Do not use a damaged
power plug, damaged power cord, or loose wall socket.
- This may result in an electric shock or re.
• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the
manufacturer or one of its service agents.
• Do not replace the fuse in the refrigerator yourself. The fuse can only be
replaced by a qualied technician or service company.
- Failing to do so may result in an electric shock or personal injury.
