USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of anextension cord.
t ]()_r_'_¢_'_ ityou must use an extension (ord, it is absohm,ly necessary
that it be a UI Aisted, 3-wire grounding t}pe applian( e extension cord
having a grounding type plug and olttlet and that the electrical rating
of tile cord be 15 ampet'cs (mininmm) and 120 vohs.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. Forpersonal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
The power cord of this _q)pliance
is equipped with a 3-prong
(g_:ounding) plug which
mates with a stan/ta_x/3-prong
(g3:ounding) wall omlet to
minimize the possibilit_ of elecUJc
shock hazard ti'om this appliance.
t tax e tile wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualitied ele( tdcian

properly grounded.
If you ha_e only a standard
2-prong wall outlet, it is g)tn:
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced
with a properly gTounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The retiigerator should always 1)e
phtgged into its own individual
elecu'ical outlet \vhich has a
voltage rating that matches tile
rating plate.
This provides tile best
