IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRI(;ITY
Do not, trader any circumstaalces, 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 (grotmding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility ot electric shock
ha/m'd fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv
a qualified electrician to make sm'e the outlet
is properly gmtmded.
\._]_ere a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grotmded B-prong wall outlet.
The iefl_igerator 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 perfimnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring drcuits which
could ca use a fire hazard fl'om overheated wires.
Never tml)lug yore" refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mwa):s grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediatelv ;ill i){m'er cords
that have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shcm:s cracks or abrasion
damage ahmg its length or ;it either end.
_]_en moving the refl_igerator away fl'om the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS , ot <
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
HoweveI; if you must use an adaptei; where local
codes pemfit, a temporaacy commction may be
made to a properly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet
by use of a UL-listed adapter available ;it most
h)cal hardware stores.
The lalger slot in the adapter inust be aligned with
the lalger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polafi U in the connection of the power cord.
_._]_en disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
adaptei; ahvavs hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter grotmd
temfinal is \'ei_' likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaks, DO NOT
USE the appliance tmtil a proper grotmd has been
established.
Attaching the adapter grotmd temfinal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not grotmd the appliance
tmless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall outlet is grotmded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked bv
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grotmded.
Use of an adaptor plug will increase the clearance
needed fin" the back of the appliance.
USE OFEXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of ma extension cord.
Howe\'ei; if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UI=listed, 3-wire
grotmding type appliance extension cord having
a grotmding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.
