USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because ofpotential safety hazards undercertainconditions, we strong/y recommend against

the use ofanextensioncord.

However, if you mtLStttse an extel_sion cord, it is absolutely necessm'y that it be a ULqisted (in the Uitited

States) or a C.%\4isted (in Catmda), _wire ga_unding .type appliance extension cord having a gq'ounding

AWARNING!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, underany circumstances,cutor remove the third (ground)prong from thepower cord. For

personal safe_ this appliance mustbe properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3.-prong (grounding) plug which mates _*]th a

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall oudet to

nfinirnize the t_)ssibilJty of'electric _zea:k hazard

from this appliauce.

Have the vrall outlet and circuit chec.ked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the oudet is

properly gaxmnded.

ff the outlet is a statzdard 2-prong outlet, it is your

personal r_spoLxsibilily and obliffation to have it

replaced with a properly gromaded 3-prong w-a]l

oudet.

The refrigerator should alwa_ be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which h_._a vohage

rating that matches the radng p"late.

"Ibis provides dze I_st peribl'mance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits which

could cattse afire hazard fixma overheated _ires.

Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

lX)wer cord. Always grip plug fitxnly and pull sUaight

out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all _)wer cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. I_) not

use acord that shows (a'aclcsor abraskm damage

along its length or at eidaer end.

When moving the retiigerau)r away from the

wall. be careful not to ron over or damage the

power cord,

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapt_rpluganotpermittedinCanada)

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 perufit, a tempomq cmmection may be made

to aproperly grotmded 2-prong wall oudet by u_

ofa UlAisted adapter available at most local

hal'dware stores.

The la_er slot in the adapter must be aligned with

the ku'ger slot in the _s"alloudet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the l:x)wer cord.

When di._on nec dng the power cord from the

adapter, al_-ays hold the adapter in place with one

hand while pulling the power cord plug with die

other hand. If this is nut done, the adapter ground

terminal is rely likely to break _*ith repeated u_'.

If the adapter gt'ound termimd breaks, DONOTUSE

the refiigerator until a proper ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter groundterminal toa waft outlet

coverscrew does not groundthe applianceunless the

coverscrewis metal and not insulated,and the wall
