CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chloropuorocarbons or
hydrochloropuorocarbons). 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 qualioed technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to ones and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the
circuit checked by a qualioed electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.

before use.
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 ore
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned oç 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.
USE OF E;TENSION CORDS
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.
