The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grotmding) i)lug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grotmded.
\\]_ere a standard 2-prong wall oudet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grom_ded 3-1)tong wall outlet,
The refl_igemtor should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
USE OF EXT?2NSION CORDS
This provides the best perfi)mmnce and also
pre_vnts o\ erloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard fi'om o\ efl_eated wires.
Ne\vr unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. aMWayS grip plug firefly and pull
straight out from the oudet.
Rei:)air or replace immediately all power cords

Do not use a cord that sho_vs cmclcs or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
\_q_en moving the refl-igemtor away ti'om the
wall, be carefld not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of am extension cord.
SAVE
Howe\w. if you must use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessai T that it be a UI Aisted, 3-wire
grotmding bpe appliance extension cord having
a grotmding _'pe plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minim urn) and 120 volts.
