Installation Preparation; Grounding The Wine Chiller - GE Monogram ZDW24 WW Installation Instructions Manual

IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
Grounding
the
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
Wine Chiller
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle to minimize
the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this
appliance.
Use of Adapter plug
Because of potential hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against
use of an adapter plug. However, if you still
elect to 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 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.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the
cutout depth required.
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.
Align Large Prongs/Slots
Insure Proper Grounding and Firm
Connection Exists Before Use
CAUTION

Installation Preparation

Wine Chiller
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 encoun-
tered, 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.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with
one hand and pulling the power cord with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to 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.
