CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover sc_ex_ is
recta< and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the
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, alwayshok/
the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord phlg
with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground temlinal is
very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Electrical Requirements
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual
electricaloutlet which has a oha_.,.e rating that matches the rating plate.
'!-his pro\ides the best performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuils hichcould cause a firehazard fi'om overheated wires.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain condition, we
strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. Howe'. er. it'
you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessar,,, that it
be a UI.-listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord ha_ing
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (mininmm) and 120 volts.
