GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

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 receptacle 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.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT 
OR REMOVE THE THIRD 
(GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS 
APPLIANCE.
