How to Connect Electricity
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.
Preferred method

Insure proper
grounding exists
before using.
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 Adapter Pit
Because of potential
hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly
recommend against use
of an adapter plug.

Insure proper g rounding andfirm
connection exists before use.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the
wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connectionof the power cord.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the clearance needed for the back
of the refrigerator.
CAUTION: 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.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapterin 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.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE tie
appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
