IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety this appflance must be properly grounded.
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a stnndard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outlet
to minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualNed electridan to make sure tile outlet is
propedy grotmded.
If tile outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is gmr
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a propedy grotmded %prong wall
outlet.
Tile refl-igerator should always be phlgged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a _oltage
rating that matches tile rating plate.
This provides tile best pedimnance and also
I_rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never tmi_lug your, refl'igerator, bx, I)tilling, on tile
power cord. Mways grip ph/g firefly and pull straight
out fl'om tile outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'aved or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
\4lien moving tile reflJgerator away fl'oin tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.
USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS ( Ad_pter plug_ not permitted in co_odo)
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 pemfit,
a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local
1/_1 I'(1W_lI'e stores.
Tile linger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile larger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile com_ection of tile power cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord ti'om tile
adapte_; alwa):s hold tile adaI)ter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord i)lug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter gromM
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaLs, DO NOT
USEthe refrigerator tmtil a proper grotmd has
been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not ihsu/ated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the circuit checked by a qualified electric&n to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded
READ ANDFOLLOW THIS SAFETY I NFORMATION CAREFULLY.
