screwdoes not ground the appli-
ance unlesscover screw is metal,
and not insulated,and wall outlet
is groundedthrough house wiring.
Youshouldhave thecircuitchecked
by a qualified electrician to make
surethe outlet isproperlygrounded.
When disconnectingthe power
mrd from the adapter,
alwayshold
the adapterwith one hand.
If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very
likely to break
with repeated use.
should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the
2DDlianceuntil a proper ground
~a~a~ajn been e~tablished.
Becauseof potentialsafetyhazards
undercertainconditions, w e strongly
recommendagainstthe use of an
extensioncord. However,if youstill
elect to use an extensioncord, it is
absolutelynecessarythat it be a
UL listed3-wire groundingtype
applianceextensioncord havinga
groundingtype plug and outlet and
that the electrical ratingof the cord
be 15 amperes (minimum)and 120
volts. Such extensioncordsare
obtainablethroughyour local
service organization.
The
refrigerator
should always
be
plugged
intoits
own
individuale!ectrica!outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100 volt,
50 Hertz, single phaseAC).
This is recommendedfor best
performanceand to prevent over-
loading housewiring circuits,
which could cause a possiblefire
hazardfrom overheatingwires.
Do not install refrigeratorwhere
temperature will go below 60°F.
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do installit on a floorstrongenough
to supporta fully lloadedrefrigerator.
