When disconnecting the powercordfrom the adap-
ter, 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 this hap-
pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
2. THE REFRIGERATOR SHOULD ALWAYS BE
PLUGGED INTO ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL ELECTRI-
CAL OUTLET (115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase AC).
This is recommendedfor best performanceand to
prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a possiblefire hazard from overheat-
ing wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of poten-
tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
stronglyrecommend against the use of an exten-
sion cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extensioncord, it is absolutely necessarythat it be
a UL listed 3-wire groundingtype appliance exten-
sioncord and that the current carrying ratingof the
cord in amperes be 15 amperes minimum.Such ex-
tensioncordsareobtainable throughyourlocalservice
organization.
3+Repair or replace immediately all electric ser-
vice cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug
or connector end.
4. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
puwercord.Alwaysgripthe plugfirmlyandpullstraight

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power
cord.

refrigerator is in operation, do not
touch the cold surfaces, particularly when hands
are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these ex-
tremely cold surfaces.
