For personal
safety, this appliance
must
be properly
grounded,
Tile power
cord of this appliance
is equipped
with a 3-prong
(grounding)
plug which
mates
with a standard
3-prong
(grounding)
wall

3-prong
wall outlet.
Tile refl'igerator
should
alwa_s be plugged
into
its own individual
electrical
outlet
which
has
a voltage
rating
that matches
the rating
plate.
This provides
tile best perflmnance
and also
prevents
overloading
house
wiring
circuits
which
could
cause a fire hazard
fl'om
overheated
wires.
Never
unplug
your refl'igerator
by pulling
on
the power
cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight

safety hazards
under
certain
conditions,
we strongly
recommend
against
the use of an adapter
plug.
HoweveL
if you must
use an adapteL
where
local codes
permit,
a temporary
connection
mav be made
to a proped
v grounded
2-prong
wall outlet
by use of a UIAisted
adapter
available
at most local
hardware
stores.
Tile larger
slot ill tile adapter
must
be
aligned
with the larger
slot ill the wall outlet
to pro\ ide proper

adaptex;
always hold
tile adapter
in place with
one hand
while pulling
tile power
cord
plug
with the other

cover screw does not ground
tile
appliance
unless
the cover screw is metal,
and
not insulated,
and tile wall outlet
is grounded
through
tile house
wiring.
YOu should
have the

Use of an adapter
plug will increase
tile
clearance
needed
for the back of the
appliance.
