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 stnndard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outlet

to minimize tile possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet

is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibili_'
and obligation to have it replaced with a propedy

grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.
Tile refligerator should always be i)lugged into

its own individual electrical outlet which has
a w)ltnge rating that matches tile rating plate.

This provides tile best pe_l'imnance and also
I)re_ents oxerloading, house wiring circuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om oxerheated wires.

Never unI)lug your refrigerator by pulling on
tile power coM. Mways grip i)lug firefly and pull

straight out ti'Olll tile outlet.

Repair oI" replace immediately all power cords
that have become fi'aved oi" otherwise damaged.

Do not use a cord that sho_:s cracks or abrasion
damage along its length oi" at either end.

\.Vhen moving tile reflJgerator away fl'oin tile
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage tile
power coM.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS(Adapterplug_notpe_m_tted_nconodoj

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.

HoweveI; if'you, must use an adaptei; where local
codes pemfit, a temporary connection may be made

to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UI Aisted adapter a\:lilable at most local

1/_1 I'(1W_lI'e stores.

Tile linger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with
tile laiger slot in tile wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in tile com_ection of tile power cord.

When discom_ecting tile power cord fl'om tile

a(laptei; alwa_:s hold tile adaI)ter in place with one
hand while pulling tile power coM i)lug with tile

other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter ground
temfinal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground temfinal breaks, DO NOT USE
tile refl-igerator, until a I)r°I ,)er ground has been

established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal andnot insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould
have the circuit checkedby a qualified electrician to make

sure the outlet is properly grounde_

\,_]_en the refl_igerator has been connected
to the water SUl)l)ly, set the power switch to
I (on). Do not open the door/dra wet for

appro_mately 4 hom_. This will allow the

fl'eezer to reach the correct operating
temperature tor making ice, and will

prevent water fl'om spilling out at the
icemaker mold.

Special Note about the Green Power Light:

Even when the icemaker power switch is in
the I (on) position, power to the icemaker

will be interrupted when the fl'eezer

door/drawer is open. This prevents ice
ejecting fl'om the icemaker fl'om missing

the ice bucket and dropping into the back
of the fl'eeze_: Because power to the

icemaker is interrupted while the
door/drawer is open, the green power light

on the icemaker will be off. To make sm'e
the icelnaker is working properly, press the

fl'eezer light switch located on the upl)er
right side of the fl'eezer compartment. The

power light on the icemaker will come on.

The icemaker Mll fill with water when it

cools to ] 5°F (-I0°C). A newl)qnstalled
reflJgerator may take 12 to 24 hom_ to

begin making ice cubes.
