A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of tbis appliance is equipped
witb a g-prong (grounding) plug which mates with
a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet
is properly grounded.
If the oudet is a standard 2-prong outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced witb a properly grounded
3-prong wall oudet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches tile rating plate.
This provides tile best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refiigerator by pulling on the
power cord. _Mwaysgrip plug firmly and pull
sn'aight out from tim outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords
tbat have become frayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord tbat shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its lengtb or at eitber end.
When moving the refiigerator away fi'om tim
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USE OF ADAPTER P LUGS (Adoptor p/ugs not pormi_d inC_nod_;
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
Howevm; if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
ofa UL-listed adapter a'_ailable at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in tlle adapter must be aligned witb
tim la_er slot in tim wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tim connection of tim power cord.
When disconnecting tlle power cord from the
adapter, al,a-ayshold tlle adapter in place with one
hand while pulling tlle power cord plug with tim
other hand. If tbis is not done, tlle adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break witb repeated use.
If tbe adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE
tbe refrigerator until a proper ground has been
established.
