IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRI(;ITY

Do not, trader any circumstaalces, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be

properly grounded.

The p_m'er cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outlet

to minimize the possibility ot electric shock
ha/m'd fl'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv
a qualified electrician to make stue the outlet

is properly gmtmded.
\._]_ere a standard 2-prong wall outlet is

encotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibili F
and obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grounded S-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into

its own indMdual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best perfimnance and also
prevents overloading house wiring drcuits which

could cause a fire hazard fl'om overheamd wires.

Never tml)lug yore" reti_igeramr by pulling on the
power cord. Mwa):s grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'oln the outlet.

Repair or replace imm ediamly all p_m'er cords
that have become fl'a)'ed or otherwise damaged.

Do not use a cord that shcm:s cracks or abrasion
damage ahmg its length or at either end.

_,_]_en moving the refl_igerator away ti'om the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

USE OF ADAPT?2R PLUGS , otpermittedinCanada)

Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug.

However; if you must use an adapte_; where local
codes pemfit, a temporaacy commction may be

made to a properly grotmded 2-prong wall outlet
by rise (ff a UI Aisted adapter available at most

local hardware stores.

The linger slot in the adapter ulust be aligned with
the linger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarity in the connection of the power cord.
_._]_en disconnecting the power cord fl'om the

adapte_; ahvavs hold the adapter in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the

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

If the adapter grotmd temfinal breaks, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper grotmd has been

established.
Attaching the adapter grotmd temfinal to a wall

outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
mfless the cover screw is metal, and not insulamd,

and the wall outlet is grotmded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked bv

a qualified electridan to make sure the outlet is
properly grotmded.

Use of an adaptor plug will increase the clearance
needed fin" the back of the appliance.

USE OF EXT 2NSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazaacds under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However; if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UI=listed, 3-wire

grotmding t,ipe appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet and that the

electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes

(minimum) and 120 volts.

and a heater. Depending on the flmction
selected, a combination of these will be

used to quickly chill items, thaw items or
hold the pan at a specific temperature.

The pan is tightly sealed to prevent the pan's

fitcts about

the dispenso

• Do not add ice fl'om trax:s or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not ('_ush or
dispense well.

• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the

chute or cause tile door in the chute to
ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,

poke it through with a wooden spoon.

• Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in tile ice storage drawe_:
Cans, bottles or fl)od packages in the
storage drawer mav cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.

• To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing the glass,

put the glass close to, but not touching, the
dispenser opening.

• Solne Clushed ice Inav be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
hal)pens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the ct usher.

• After crashed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip fl'om the chute.

• Sometimes a small motmd of snow will form

Use of any cleaning solution other than that
which is recommended, especially those that
