USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary
that it be a CSA approved, 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.
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.
If you have only a standard
2-prong wall outlet, 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 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.
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.
