How To Connect Electricity; Use Of Adapter Plugs; Use Of Extension Cords - Monogram Free-Standing Side-by-Side Stainless Steel Refrigerator Owner's Manual

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.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

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 temporary connection
may 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 must 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. If this is not done, the
adapter ground terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canda)
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip 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 refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to
a wall 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.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the
appliance.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
