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.
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.
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 EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is

absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire

grounding 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.
