Electrical Requirement
• Make sure there is a suitable power outlet (115 volts, 15 amps outlet) with
proper grounding to power the refrigerator.
• Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding
prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous
practice since it provides no effective grounding for the refrigerator and
may result in shock hazard.
• Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use
only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a
3-slot outlet that will accept the plug. The marked rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• Do not install your refrigerator in any location not properly insulated or
heated, e.g. garage, etc. Your refrigerator was not designed to operate in
temperature settings below 55˚ Fahrenheit.
• Select a suitable location for the refrigerator on a hard even surface away
from direct sunlight or heat source, e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters,
cooking appliances, etc. Any floor unevenness should be corrected with
the leveling legs located on the front bottom corners of the refrigerator.
