NOTE

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still
dangerous – even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you
are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
m
Before you throw away your old refrigeration product:
– Take off the doors.
– Leave the shelves in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
m
Keep children away from packaging materials – Danger of
suffocation from folding cartons and cling wrap!

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The appliance comes with an UL listed, 3-wire power
supply cord.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician
only.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered,
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not use an adapter plug.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTION

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a mal-
function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for the electric current.
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by
a qualified electrician or service technician if you are in doubt
as to whether the appliance has been properly grounded.
Some local regulations may require a separate ground.
In such cases, the required accessory ground wire,
clamp and screw must be purchased separately.
Never ground the appliance to plastic plumbing lines,
gas lines or water pipes.
