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 nlates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to
minimize the possibili b' of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualNed electridan to make sure the outlet is
propedy grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refl-igerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides tile best pe_fimnance and also
I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from oxerheated wires.
Never unplug your refl-igerator
by pulling
on tile
power cord. Mways grip i)lug firefly and pull

codes i)e_nit, a temporary connection ma) be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UiAisted adapter a\:filable at most local
hardware stores.
Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile larger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in tile connection of tile power cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om tile
a(lapte_; always hold tile adapter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power cord i)lug with tile
other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground
te_ninal is very likely to break with repeated use.

tile refl'ioerator,_ 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
