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.
Use of a GFI (Ground Fault Interruptor) is not

recommended for the refrigerator 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.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT

THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD

WITH THIS APPLIANCE.
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.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for

particular electrical system specifications

for this refrigerator.
