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.
