How do I properly disconnect power to the refrigerator?

To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power cord itself; instead, always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle to prevent damaging the cord. Pressing the On/Off button only disables the cooling system but does not disconnect power to the light bulb and other electrical components.
