The power cord of this appliance is equipped _ith a
3-prong (D'ounding) plug which mates with a stan-
dard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize
the possibility, of electric shock hazard frOln this
appliance.
Hm,e file wall outlet and circuit checked by a quali-
fied electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encoun-
tered, it is your personal responsibility, anti obliga-
tion m have it replaced with a properly grounded S-
prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
o_m indMdual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS (A pter not per i,e in
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you lnUSt use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection ulay be made
to a properly _'ounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
ofa UL-listed adapter available at lnOSt local hard-
ware stores.
The larger slot in die adapter must be aligned _4dl
the larger slot in the wall oudet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord fi'OUlthe
adapter, always
hold the adapter in place _4th one
hand while pulling the power cord plug _4th the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
temdnal is veU likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter _'ound terminal breaks, DONOTUSE
the refiigerator until a proper ground has been
established.
