1. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) PIug which mates

with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall re­ceptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil­ity of electric shock
hazard from this appli-

ance. Have the wall

receptacle checked by
a qualified electrician
to make sure the re-

ceptacle is properly .
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-

countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli­gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD [GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.

USAGEOFADAPTERPLUG

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use

an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adapter which is avail-

able at most local hard­ware stores (Fig. 2). The
larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with

the larger slot in the

wall receptacle to pro­vide proper polarity in
the connection of the

power cord.

appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not in­sulated, and wall receptacle is grounded through

house wiring. Custolmer

should have tile circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adap­ter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this

is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very
likely to break with repeated use. Should this hap­pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.

2. THE REFRIGERATOR SHOULD ALWAYS BE
PLUGGED INTO ITS OWN INDIVIDUAL ELECTf31-

OUTLET [11!5voH,60 hertz,singlephaseAC).

This is recommended for best performance and to
prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard from overheat­ing wires.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because of poten-

tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an exten­sion cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance exten-

sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15 amperes minimum. Such ex­tension cords are obtainable through your local service
organization.
