IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

HOW TO CONNECT 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 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 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 refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical outlet which has a voltage, wattage

and frequency that match the rating plate.

This provides the best performance 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 grip 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 away from the 

wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the 

power cord.

AVERTISSEMENT!

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE

Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon
d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.

Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est muni d’une

fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre) qui se branche dans

une prise murale ordinaire à 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre)

pour réduire au minimum les risques de chocs

électriques.
Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit par un

électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la prise est

correctement mise à la terre.
Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2 alvéoles, il vous

incombe de la faire remplacer par une prise à 3 alvéoles

correctement mise à la terre.
Le réfrigérateur doit toujours être branché dans sa propre

prise de courant, dont la tension nominale est identique à

celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.

Cette précaution est recommandée pour garantir un

rendement optimum et éviter une surcharge des circuits

électriques de la résidence, ce qui pourrait créer un risque

d’incendie par surchauffe des fils.
Ne débranchez jamais le réfrigérateur en tirant sur le

cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez fermement la fiche du

cordon et tirez droit pour la retirer de la prise.
Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout cordon

effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez pas un cordon fendillé

ou présentant des signes d’usure.
Lorsque vous déplacez votre réfrigérateur du mur, faites

attention de ne pas le faire rouler sur le cordon

d’alimentation afin de ne pas l’endommager.
