How to connect the earth wire:
•
Connect the earth wire's metal ring end to the earth screw
on the back of the refrigerator.
Do not connect the earth wire to the following locations.
•
Gas pipe
It could produce sparks which lead to fire and explosion.
•
Telephone earth wire and lightning rod
It is dangerous during lightning.
•
Water pipe and water tap
The earth wire connection will not work when the middle of the water pipe is made of plastic.
When installing the product in a humid or wet location, you must install the earth wire.
Ex) • Unfloored or dirt floored room (Room with dirt and no floor), concrete floor
• Location where it can get wet such as near the sink
• Location where water can leak or is humid such as basement
• Other wet or humid location
Especially, for locations where it always get wet such as near the restaurant sink, you are obligated by
the law to install a circuit breaker in addition to the earth wire.
After consulting with your retailer or electric construction company, you must do the earth wire

Peel off the cable sheath/insulation at the other end of the earth wire. Attach the peeled wire
to a metal screw/nail and then drive it through the wall or ground.
