in
this
instruction manual have been
certified
for use
with
the
refrigerator
models listed in the table. For ā€œCertified

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
120
Votts AC Connection
The refrigerator is
equipped
with
a three-prong (ground-
ing) plug for your protection against shock hazards and
should be plugged
directly
into a properly
grounded
three-prong
receptacle.
DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from this plug. The free length of the
cord is 2 feet and therefore recommended that the
receptacle be located to
the
left
side of
the
refrigerator
(viewed from the rear) and
approximately
6 inches from
the
floor (see FIG. 3). This allows easy access through
the vent door. The cord should
be
routed to avoid direct
contact with the burner cover,
flue
cover or any other
components that could damage the cord insulation.
