a, WARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appfiance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-pr(mg (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize the possibiliQ, of electric shock hazard

fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it is your personal responsibiliQ' and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The reli-igerator should alwa D be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best pe_tom_ance and also

I)rexents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire haa_rd from oxerheated wires.

Never unplug your refrigerator bv pulling on the

power cord. Mways grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all po_vr cords that

have become fl'a)'ed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either end.

\,_]_en moving the refrigerator away fl'om the

wall, be careflll not to roll over or damage the

power cord.
