IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO CONNECT EI ECTRI(;ITY

Do not, raider any circumstaalces, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.

The p_wer 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 possibili_' 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_'

and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.

The refrigerator should alwa):s be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has

a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

USE OF EXT NSION CORDS

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

could cause a fire hazard fl'om overheated wires.

Never tmplug yore" refl_igerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mwa):s grip plug firefly and pull

straight out fl'om the outlet.

Repair or replace immediatelv ;all p{_wer cords
that have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged.

Do not use a cord that sho_vs cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.

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

power cord.

Because of potential safety hazax&s under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

SAVE

However; if you m ust use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, B-wire

grotmding _'pe appliance extension cord having
a grounding D'pe plug and outlet and that the

electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes

(minimum) and 120 w_lts,

If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

Special notes:

• Dispenser models have a tilt-out ice bin.

The bin can be tilted Otlt as shown in the
