IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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 the outlet is a standard 2-prong 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.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS 

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against 
the use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must 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.

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.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, 

DO NOT USE

the refrigerator until a proper ground has been
established.

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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
