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.
—-. CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal to
}~~;ai~rece~tacje cover screw does not ground
—”
appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Custolmer

the
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).
CAL
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.
