original OEM plug configuration when connecting it to a power
source.
TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator/freezer that has been
connected to an adapter plug.
Use of Extension Cords
NEVER USE AN EXTENSION CORD! An extension cord is
determined to be any component that adds length to the original
OEM power cord when connecting it to a power source.
TRUE will not warranty any refrigerator/freezer that has been
connected to an extension cord.

How to Connect Electricity
• The power cord from this appliance is equipped with a
grounding plug which minimizes the possibility of electric
shock hazard.
• The wall outlet and circuit should be checked by a licensed
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
• If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with the
properly grounded wall outlet.
• DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the ground
prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded.
• Before your new unit is connected to a power supply, check
the incoming voltage with a voltmeter. If the recorded voltage
is less than the rated voltage for operation (+/-5%) and amp
rating, correct immediately. Refer to cabinet data plate for this
voltage requirement.
• The refrigerator/freezer should always be plugged into a
dedicated electrical circuit. This provides the best performance
and prevents building wiring circuits from being overloaded,
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Never unplug your refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
outlet.
• When moving the refrigerator/freezer, for any reason, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
• Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a power
cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or
at either end.
• If the supply power cord is damaged, it should be replaced with
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components. To avoid
hazard this should be done by a licensed service provider.
