INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

(continued)

Use of Adapter Plug

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 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL
listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.

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 the adapter ground terminal 
to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the
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 in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord 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.

Electrical Requirements

Use of Extension Cords

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet 
which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.

Temporary Method

(Adapter plugs not 
permitted in Canada.)

Align large prongs/slots.

Insure proper grounding
and firm connection
exists before use.
