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, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator

or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then

disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you

are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source

and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control

depending on the model) to the desired setting. See “Using the

Controls.”
