USEOFADAPTER PLUGS
(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 m_ adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be made
m a properly grounded 2-prong wall Bullet by use
ofa UL-listed adapter available a/most local
hardware slores.
The larger slot in the adapter Inust be aligned with
the larger slol in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in 1he connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord froIn the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place wilh one
hand while pulling the lx)wer cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely m break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground temfinal breaks,
DO NOT
USEIhe 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 metal, 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.
