HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safer)4,this appfiance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili F of electric shock haa_rd
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electfidan to make sure the outlet is
i)roperly grotmded.
If the outlet is a standard 9-prong outlet, it is
yore" personal responsibili_' and obligation to
have it replaced with a i)roperly grotmded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refl{gerator should alwa D be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a w)ltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pe_l'om_ance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never uni)lug your refl{gerator by pulling on
the power cord. Mwavs grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'om the outlet,
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that sho_vs cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
\4_hen moving the refrigerator away fl'om the
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the

USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS (Adapter plug_ not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an
adapter plug.
Howevet; if'you, must use an adaptet; where local
codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a l)roperly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:filable at most local
hai'dware stoFes,
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the com_ecfion of the power cord.
When (lisc(mnecting the power cord fl'om the
a(lapte_; alwa_:s hold the adal)ter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord l)lug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter grotmd
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaLs, DO NOT
USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
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 waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly groundec{
