USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessa_ T that it be a UiAisted (in the United

States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 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 w_lts.

WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under anv circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibili F of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is

propedy grounded.

Where a standard E-prong wall outlet is

encotmtered, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refl_igerator should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best perfimnance and also

I_rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never tmplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull

straight out fl'oln the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that

have become ti'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

\._q_en moving the refligerator away fl'om the

wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

Aboutthe controlsontherefrigerator, gecom

The controls on your refrigerator will look like one of the following:

ControlSettings

Initially, set the control(s) at 5(some models have only one control). Allow 24 hours for the

temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and

aflow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you

have set.

Setting the refrigerator control to 0stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator

compartments but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer

control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.

Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,

and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the

amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the

temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.
