Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. Huwever,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type applianceextensioncord having
a grounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15amperes (minim~m) and
120volts.
The refrigerator should
always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, single phase
AC). This is recommended for
best performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause afire hazard
fkomoverheating wires.
