Grounding
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
the
Refrigerator
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend two separate 115V, 60Hz, 20 amp
properly grounded electrical outlets for a side by side
installation of two products. Each electrical outlet
should have a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
Use of Adapter plug
Because of potential hazards under certain condi-
tions, we strongly recommend against use of an
adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION, may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
available at most hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Installation Preparation
36" Stainless Steel Refrigerators, Freezers
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter in place with one hand and
pulling the power cord with the other 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 appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
