WARNING!
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
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.
Tile power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-i)rong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
l)rol)erly grounded.
Where a standard 9-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your i)ersonal resi)onsibili V
and obligation to have it rei)laced with a
properly grounded 3-i)rong wall outlet.
The refl'igerator should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating [)late.
This proxides the best l)erfbrmance and also
l)rexents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fi'om overheated _dres.

damage ahmg its length or at either end.
