Electrical Requirements

Before you move your convertible refrigerator/freezer into its final

location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical

connection. Your convertible refrigerator/freezer is equipped with a

longer power cord for easier placement and movement.

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 convertible refrigerator/freezer 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, turn the lower compartment control to OFF,

and then disconnect the convertible refrigerator/freezer from the

electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the convertible

refrigerator/freezer to the electrical source and reset the control to

the desired setting.
