including the following:

• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet, do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter, and do
not use an ext en sion cord.

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the v icinity of
this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard o r explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit
is disconnected.

• Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.

• Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result
