IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 this appliance is equipped
with a g-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard g-prong (grounding) w_l oudet
to minimize tile 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 with a properly grounded 3-prong w_l
outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. _Mwaysgrip plug firmly and pull straight
out fi'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become frayed or other,arise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at eitlmr end.
When moving the refrigerator away fi'om the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USE OF ADAPTER P LUGS (Adapter pl,gs not permitted in
Canada)
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
era UL-listed adapter a'_ailable at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned witll
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, al,a-ayshold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT
USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
