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 possibilit of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
b a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properl grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet
is encountered, it is our personal
responsibilit and obligation to have
it replaced with a properl grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter)
is not recommended for the fresh-food
refrigerator.
The appliance should alwa s 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.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER
PLUG TO CONNECT THE
FRESH-FOOD REFRIGERATOR
TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD ITH THIS APPLIANCE.
Never unplug an appliance b pulling on
the power cord. Alwa s grip the plug firml
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediatel all power
cords that have become fra ed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
