Use Of Extension Cords; How To Connect Electricity - GEA GTR03BL series Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

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 must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary
that it be a CSA-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.

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.
If you have only 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.
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 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.
