If the outlet is a standard non grounding outlet, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced

with a properly grounded 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 cord that have become frayed

or other wise damaged� Do not use a cord that shows cracks

or abrasion damage along its length or al either end� When

moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not

to roll over or damage the power cord�

If the supply cord damaged, it must be replaced by the

manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons

in order to avoid a hazard.

USE OF ADAPTER

PLUGS

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

permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly

grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of an adapter available

at most local hardware stores� The larger slot in the adapter

must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to

provide proper polarity in the connection of the cord�

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

always hold the adapter in place with one hand while

pulling the power cord plug with the other hand� If this is

not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break

with repeated use�

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT use the

refrigerator until a proper ground has been established�

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover

screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is

grounded through the house wiring� You should have the

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded�
