Grounding - Honeywell 88037 Use And Care Manual

IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
and use of extension cords
The compact refrigerator must be grounded.
In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded. If the outlet is a standard 2-
prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord.
WARNING-Improper use of grounding
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly
grounded and either:
1. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a 3-prong grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked electrical rating of the
extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the rating of the
appliance, or
2. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
