Risk Of Child Entrapment; How To Connect Electricity - GE ZDBR240 Owner's Manual

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

WARNING
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous...
even if they will sit for "just a few days." If
you are getting rid of your old appliance,
please follow these instructions to help
prevent accidents.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG OR EXTENSION CORD
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
Do not use an adapter plug to connect the
refrigerator to a 2-prong outlet.
Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
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 appliance 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
Never unplug an appliance by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the 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 appliance, be careful not to roll over
or damage the power cord.
