 •
The refrigerator must be plugged into its own 
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC-only non-GFCI 
electric outlet.
 The power cord of the appliance 
is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for 
your protection against electrical shock hazards. 
It must be plugged directly into a properly 
grounded three-prong receptacle. The receptacle 
must be installed in accordance with local codes 
and ordinances. Consult a qualified electrician. 
Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
 •  If the power cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by the manufacturer, service technician, 
or a qualified person.
 •  Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent 
damaging the power cord.
 •  To avoid electrical shock, unplug the refrigerator
before cleaning and before replacing a light bulb 
or LED light. 
 •  Performance may be affected if the voltage varies
by 10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with 
insufficient power can damage the compressor. 
Such damage is not covered under your warranty.
 •  Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a
wall switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator 
from being turned off accidentally.
