HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety this appfiance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (gromMing) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet
to minimize the possibili_' of electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is
properly gromMed.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a propedy grotmded %prong wall
outlet.
Tile refl-igerator, should always, be I_lugged,, into its
own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltnge
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides tile best pe_timnance and also
I_rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never Itm )lug,,vour refl'igerator, bx, i)ulling, on tile
I)°wer cord. Mwavs,, II ,gli ) )lug firefly, and pull straight
out fl'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
\,_]/en moving tile refligerator away from tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power cord.
USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS (Ad_pter plug_ not permitted in co_odo)
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 pemfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a proi)erly gromMed 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local
l/J1 I'(1w[lI'e stores.
Tile linger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile com_ection of tile power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord ti'om the
adapte_; always hold tile adal)ter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord i)lug with the
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter gromM
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter grotmd temfinal
breaLs, DO
NOT
USEthe refrigerator tmtil a proper grotmd 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 ihsu/ated, and the waft
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded
