SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the
CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release the CFC refrigerant, you
can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own indi-
vidual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
provides the best performance and also prevents overload-
ing 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
which cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain.
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.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a CSA-listed 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.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock Hazard
