Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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.

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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
,A 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 wilt increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy
articles on it.
• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the
cord hanging down.
• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll
over or damage the power cord.
• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced
immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.
• Do not insert your hands into the area under the
bottom of the appliance.
• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the refrigerator.
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.
