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) wall outlet
to minimize the possibili F of electric shock hazard
fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and ci_vuit checked bv
a qualified electt{cian to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet,
it is your i)e_onal responsibilib' 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 the best perlkmnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om overheated wires.
Never tml)lug your refl'igerator b)' pulling on the
power cord. Mwa):s grip plug firefly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Rel)air or replace immediately all power cords
that have become fl'aved or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abI'asion
damage along its length or at either end.
_._]_en moving the refi_igerator away ti'om the
wall, be careflfl not to roll over or damage the
power cord,
USEOF ADAPTER PLUGS ( Adapter plug not permitted in canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However; if win, must use an adapter; where local
codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet b)' use
of a UIAisted adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
The linger slot in the adapter must be aligned Mth
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the
a(lapte_; always hold the adal)ter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
temfinal is ve_' likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground temfinal
brealcs, DO NOT USE
the refl'igerator until a proper ground has been
established.
