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 (gromMing) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (gromMing) wall outlet
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 outlet
is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is
yam" personal responsibili_' and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grotmded
3-prong wall out.let.
The refligerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a w)ltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best perlimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never tmplug yam" refl-igerator
by pulling
on
the p(>wer cord, Mwa}:s grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'onl the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS (Adapter plugs not permitted in conodoj
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an
adapter plug.
However; if'you, must use an adapte_; where local
codes pemfit,
a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grotmded E-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:filable at m()st local
h[I I'(lw[lI'e stores.
The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the com_ection of the power cord.
When disc(mnecting the power cord fl'om the
a(lapte_; alwa>s hold the adaptor 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 very likely to break with repeated use.
