USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord.
Howe\'et; if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grotmding D'pe appliance extension cord having a grounding
type plug and ouflet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal salon this appfiance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equii)ped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility oI electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv a
qualified electrician to make sure the ouflet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 9-prong outlet, it is
yore" personal responsibili_' and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The refi_igerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best pe_imnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.
Never unI_lug your reli_igerator by pulling on
the power cord. _Mwavs grip plug firefly and pull
straight out froln the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become ti'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
\_]/ell moving the reflJgerator away fl'Oln the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
