Hotpoint HSS25ASHSS Manual

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.  Failure to do so can 
result in fire, explosion, or death.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the 

possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified 

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly 

grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have 

it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall 

outlet. Do not use an adapter.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own 

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating 

that matches the rating plate.

A 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded 

electrical supply is required. This provides the best 

performance and also prevents overloading house 

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from 

overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power 

cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from 

the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that 

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not 

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage 

along its length or at either end.
When moving the refrigerator away from the wall,  be 

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
Do not remove the ground prong
Do not use an adapter
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

  Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.  

Remove fresh-food and freezer doors from the refrigerator, prior to disposal.  Failure to do so can result 

in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems 

of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are 

still dangerous even if they will sit for “just a few 

days.” If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, 

please follow the instructions below to help prevent 

accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or  

„

 Take off the fresh food and freezer doors.

„

 Leave the shelves in place so that children may 

not easily climb inside.

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, 

which under federal law must be removed prior 

to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old 

refrigeration product, check with the company 

handling the disposal about what to do.
