Your old refrigerator
may have a cooling
system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons
or
hydrochtorofluorocarbons).
CFCs and HCFCs are
believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the
atmosphere.
Other
refrigerants
may also cause harm to
the environment
if released to the atmosphere.
if you are throwing
away your old refrigerator,
make
sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal
by a qualified
technician.
If you intentionally
release
refrigerant,
you may be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental
legislation.
IMPORTANT:
Please read carefully.

USE OF EXTENSION
CORDS
Because of potenflal safety
hazards under certain
condlflons,
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.
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 or 20 amperes.
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 putt 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.
