result in fire, explosion, or death.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Do not remove the ground prong

IDonot use an adapter

lFailure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

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, Do not use an

adapter,

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

of baking soda in the fresh food and freezer

compartments,

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning.

out of sponge or cloth when cleaning around

switches, lights or controls,

Use warm water and baking sod(] solution-

about a tablespoon (15 ml) of baking soda to

a quart (1 liter) of water, This both cleans and

neutralizes odors, Rinse and wipe dry,

Other parts ofthe refrigerator-including door

gaskets,fruit and vegetable drawers,and all

plastic parts--can be cleaned the same way.

After cleaning the door gaskets, apply a thin

layer of petroleum jelly to the door gaskets

at the hinge side, This helps keep the gaskets

from sticking and bending out of shape, Do

not use cleansing powders or other abrasive

cleaners,

Do not wash any plastic refi'igerator parts

in the dishwasher,

Avoid cleaning cold glass shelves (on some

models) with hot water because the extreme

temperature difference may cause them to

break, Handle glass shelves carefL/l_ Bumping
