Whenusing a3-pronged plug
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improperuseofthegroundingplugcanresultinariskofelectricshock.Consultaqualied
electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has
a three blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.Themarkedratingoftheextensioncordshouldbeequaltoorgreaterthanthe
electrical rating of the appliance.
INSTALLATION
1. Steady,atlocation:
If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly.
To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the level leg clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator
or turn counter-clockwise to lower that side. Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator will
take some weight off the leveling leg. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling leg.
2. Ventilation: Do not block air vents. Place refrigerator approximately 5 inches from the wall to ensure
properairowtothecompressor.Donotplacerefrigeratornearanyhearresourcessuchasaheateror
stove as it will put a strain on the compressor.
3. Power supply:
 •Checkyourlocalpowersource.Thisrefrigeratorrequiresa110V-120V,60Hzpowersupply.
 • Useareceptaclethatwillacceptthegroundprong.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.
(a) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
(b) If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTES:
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
 Neverunplugyourrefrigeratorbypullingonthepowercord.Alwaysgripplugrmlyandpullstraightout
from the outlet.
