MUSTBEPROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig. 2) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appJi-
ance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qua]ified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.

Because of potential safety hazards under cer-
tain conclitions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect 10 use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNEC-
TION may bc made to a properly grounded

listed ada~ter which is available at most local
hardware 'stores (Fig. 3). The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly groundecl,
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapt er with one
hand. If this is not done. the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WI+ ERE
APPL!ANCE'S POWER CORD
WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situatit>lls
because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a [hree-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged int~
its own indi vidu ai elec (ric ai outlet (115v~>lt
60 hertz, single phase AC.)
