A WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECT 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) ,a_ll oudet to
minimize the possibility"of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the oudet is
properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong oudet, it is your
personal responsibility" and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly" grounded 3-prong wall
oudeL
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
owql indMdual electrical oudet which has a voltage
rating that matches tim rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fi'om overheated wires.
Never unplug your refiigerator by pulling on the
power cord. _Mwaysgrip plug firmly and pull
sn'aight out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately" all power cords that
have hecome frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not
use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
When moving the refiigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USE OF ADAPTER P LUGS _Adapt_r plugs
not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
Howevm, if you must use an adapte_, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection may be made
m a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by"use
ofa UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity" in tim connection of tim power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug wifll the
oflmr hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is veiT likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT USE
the refrigerator until a proper ground has been
established.
