IMPORTANT. . . Please Read Carefully.
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
use of an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNE~ION may
be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a
at most local 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 adapter
ground terminal to will ou~let cover
screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall outlet is
grounded through house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with 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 N~ USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Use of etiension 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. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
The refrigerator should
always be plugged into its own
individual el~trical outlet—
(115 volt, 60 Hertz, single phase

AC). This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible f'ire
hazard from overheating wires.
