GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard 3-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on

level surface of hard material that is at the same height

a
as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong
enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a
large section of the cardboard carton and place under the
refrigerator where you are working.

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

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
