A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT E LECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances,cut or remove the third(ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safe_ this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-proug (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified elecu-ician to make sure the oudet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refi-igemtor by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out fxom the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become flayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refi'igemtor away fi'om the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USEOF AOAPTER P LUGS
(Adapter p lugsnotpermittedin 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 temporaryconnectionmay be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores,
The larger slot in the adapter most be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. ff this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal
breaks, DO NOT
USEthe refrigerator until a proper ground has
been established.
