from this appliance,
Have 1he wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified etecuician to make sure the outlet is

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your pei,'sonal responsibility- and
obligation I() have it replaced with a properly-
grounded _prong wall outlet,
The refiigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual elecuical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the Fating plate.

USE OF ADAPTER P LUGS
(Adapterplugs not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, 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 ttse
of a UIAisted adapter available at most local
hm'dware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in flae connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from Ilae
adapter, always hold the adapter in place wifla one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If flaisis not done, the adapter gnmnd
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated u_,
If I11eadapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE
the refrigerator until a proper gnmnd has been
established.
