IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord. For personal safety, 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-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO
CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO
A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD
WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
6
The appliance 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 an appliance by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip the
plug firmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power
cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the appliance, be careful
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
