USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, ifyou must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessapy that it be a UL-listed (in the United

States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire _'ounding 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.

WARNING'!

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 _@h

a 3-prong (grounding) plug which ulates v_4flla

standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to

minimize dm possibility, of electric shock hazard

from this appliance.

HmTe tim wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure tim outlet is

properly _'ounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encountered, it isyour personal responsibility,

and obligation to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its

o_m indMdual electrical outlet which has a voltage

rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides die best perfbnnance 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 _'ip 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 file refiigerator a_vlyfrom the wall,

be carefifl not to roll over or damage the power cord.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(A_pterp/u_notpermi,e_inC_n_)

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against

the use of an adapter plug.

However, ifyou must use an adapter, where local

codes permit, a temporaryconnectionulay be made

to a properly _'ounded 2-prong wall outlet by use

ofa UL-listed adapter available at most local

hardware stores.

The larger slot in die adapter must be aligned widl

the larger slot in the wall oudet to provide proper

polarity, in the connection of dm power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord frOUlthe

adapter, always hoM the adapter in place _4th one

hand while pulling the power cord plug _4th the

other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground

temdnal is veUlikely to break with repeated use.

If the adapter _'ound terminal breaks, DONOTUSE

the refiigerator until a proper ground has been

established.
