TEMPORARYMETHOD

(ADAPTERPLUGSNOT PERMllTEDINCANADA)

‘ig. 2 “ ‘

The Iarger slot in the adapter must

bealigned with the larger slotin the wall outlet to provideproper polarity in the connection of the

powercord. CAUTION:Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to the walloutlet coverscrew does not ground the

applianceunless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the walloutlet isgrounded through the

house wiring. Youshould havethe

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet isproperly grounded,

when disconnecting the power cord from the adapteq alwayshold theadapter with one hand. If this isnot done, the adapter ground

terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

BEFOREUSE

Becauseof potentialsafety hazardsunder certainconditions, westronglyrecommendagainstthe useof an extensioncord. However, ifyou stilleelectto usean extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that

itbe a UL listed 3-wiregrounding typeapplianceextensioncordhaving a groundingtypeplugand outlet andthat the electricalratingofthe

cord be 15amperes (minimum)and

120volts.Such extension cords are obtainablethroughyourlocal serviceorganization.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical oMet(115

volt, 60 Hertz, singlephase

AC). This is recommendedforbest

performance and to preventover-

loadinghouse wiringcircuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheatingwires.
