Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual
electrical outlet—Please refer to the rating plate on the refrigerator
for the correct voltage and frequency. This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
WARNING: HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS TO CHILDREN.
WHEN DISCARDING AN OLD REFRIGERATOR OR
FREEZER BE CERTAIN TO MAKE THE LOCK UNUSABLE.
IF POSSIBLE, REMOVE THE DOORS AND DISCARD
SEPARATELY. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STAND ON TOP OF
YOUR APPLIANCE. IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR SUCH USE
AND YOU COULD INJURE YOURSELF OR DAMAGE THE
APPLIANCE BY SUCH ABUSE. CHILDREN SHOULD NOT
BE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE OR
TAMPER WITH THE CONTROLS.
How to Connect Electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong
(grounding) 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.
Where an ungrounded wall
outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded
three-prong wall outlet.
If the product plug does not fit your outlet, the product should be fitted
with a new plug.
IMPORTANT: The refitting of electric plugs and cables should be
done by a qualified technician or service agent.
If the power supply cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced by a
qualified service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD GROUNDING PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
Insure proper
ground exists
before using.

Installation
Use of Adapter Plug
(on some models)
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall outlet by
use of an adapter.
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in the
wall outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through house wiring. You
should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the
adapter with one hand while pulling the plug with the other hand. If
this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Temporary method
Align large prongs
with slots
Insure proper
grounding and firm
connection exist before
using.
