Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of
the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still
dangerous… even if they will sit for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please
follow the instructions at right to help prevent accidents.
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 this CFC refrigerant, you can
be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid any hazard.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 volts, 60Hz, AC only and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading 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. Do not use an extension cord.
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.
NOTE
: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, disconnect the refrigerator from
the electrical source.
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
UL-listed (in the United States), 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.
