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 pc)wer cord of this appliance is equipped xfith
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates _dth a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of elecuic shock hazard
fiom this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified ele(trician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
If tile oudet is a standard 2-prong oudet, it isyour
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
repla(ed _dth a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator shouM always be plugged into its
own indMdual electrical outlet which has a vohage
rating that matches tlle rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overh)ading house wiring cir(uits whidl
could cause a tire hazard flom overheated wires.
Never unplug your reffigervUor by pulling on tlle
power (ord. Ahvays grip plug firmly and pull suaight
out fiom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fiayed or otherwise dmnaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion dmnage
along its length or at either end.
When moving tile refrigerator away flom the
wall, be (mefhl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS ( Ad_pte_ plug_
notpe_mitted inC_,_d_)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
H{rwever, if you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly gn nmded 2-prong wzdl outlet by use
ofa UI Aisted adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger sh)t in the wall outlet to proxdde proper
polarity in the cr)nnection of the power
cor'd.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
a&lpter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter gr(rund
terminal is very likely to break with repeamd use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT
USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is meta/, and not lesu/ated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshou/d
have the circuit checked by a qualified electric&n to make
sure the outlet is proper/y grounde_
