Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location,
it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115-volt, 60 Hz., AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an
outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
NOTE:
Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, press and hold TEMP SETTING for
3 seconds to turn off cooling, and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source.
