RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115 Volts,
60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes (minimum). This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or property when
using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following.
INSTALLATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where there may be a
danger of the unit falling.
• The refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
OPERATION
• Do not use aerosols near the refrigerator.
• This appliance is intended to be used only in domestic
and similar applications.
• Do not strike or apply excessive force to any glass
surface. Do not touch glass surfaces if they are
cracked or broken.
• Do not overfill or pack items too tightly into door bins.
Doing so may cause damage to the bin or personal
injury if items are removed with excessive force.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded
(two-prong) adaptors. Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension
cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL-listed (USA), 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet,
and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
WARNING
Replacing Electrical Cord
To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or
a similarly qualified technician. Do not operate the
appliance with a damaged power cord.
• Do not hang on to or place heavy objects on the
refrigerator's dispenser.
MAINTENANCE
• Do not use strong detergents like wax or thinners for
cleaning. Clean with a soft cloth.
• Remove foreign objects (such as dust and water) from
the prongs of the power plug and contact areas. Do
not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.
• Do not spray water directly on the inside or outside of
the refrigerator.
• Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water
when they are cold. They may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes.
