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.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) 
is not recommended for the fresh-food
refrigerator.
The appliance 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.

DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER PLUG 
TO CONNECT THE
FRESH-FOOD
REFRIGERATOR TO 
A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD WITH
THIS APPLIANCE.

Never unplug an appliance by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the 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 appliance, be careful 
not to roll over or damage the power cord.
