Hi Switch, thank you for your question. Yes, the FFUE1626AV can be plugged into a standard dedicated 115V grounded outlet, and it should not be connected to a switch-controlled outlet. The unit requires a continuous power supply, so using a wall switch or switch-controlled receptacle is not recommended, as accidentally turning it off could cause temperature issues and food loss. — Reed
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello there, based on the Frigidaire manual for the Frigidaire 16 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer (Fingerprint-Resistant Stainless Steel Look): - It requires a standard 115-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only, 15-amp electrical supply. - It should be plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong outlet. - The manual does not recommend using an extension cord or a switch-controlled outlet. If by “standard switch” you mean a normal wall light switch that turns the power outlet on/off, no, that is not recommended. A freezer should have continuous power because turning it off accidentally can cause food loss and can affect compressor operation. If you mean a standard household electrical outlet: Yes, a regular grounded 120V outlet is the correct connection. It does not require a special appliance switch or dedicated control switch, but the circuit should meet the manual’s electrical requirements. - Maico
