IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READALLINSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
a, WARNING!
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 (grounding) plug which nlates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize tile possil)ilit), of electdc shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualNed electridan to make sure tile outlet is
propedy grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is gmr
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a propedy grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
Tile refl-igerator, should ahvavs, be I)lugged,, into its
own indixidual electrical outlet which has a xoltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides tile best perlimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on tile
power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull
straight out ti'oln tile 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.
When moving tile refi_igerator 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 i)emfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local
hardwai'e stores.
Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile connection of tile power cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord ti'om tile
a(lapte_; 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 ground
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If tile adapter ground temfinal
brealcs, DO NOT USE
tile reflJ oerator_ until a l)r°l ,)er ground 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 i))su/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 groundecL
