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 _@h
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which ulates _aLfll a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize dm possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
HmTe tim wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure tim outlet is
properly _'ounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
o_m indMdual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides die best perfbnnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always _'ip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that
have become 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 refrigerator a_vty from the
wall, be carefifl not to roll over or dmnage the

USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS (A_pter p/u_ n ot permi,e_ inC_n_)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you lnUSt use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a temporary connection ulay be made
to a properly _'ounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
era UL-listed adapter available at lnOSt local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in die adapter must be aligned widl
the larger slot in the wall oudet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of dm power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord frOUl the
adapter, always heM the adapter in place _Lth one
hand while pulling the power cord plug _Lth the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
temfinal is vepy likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter _'ound terminal breaks, DONOTUSE
the refrigerator until a proper ground has been
established.
