FORPERSONALSAFETY,’I’HISAPPLIANCE
MUSTBE PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard fro”mthis appli-
ance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.

Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use ofan adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY C(?NNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter whichis available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5).The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned withthe larger slot in
the wallreceptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
I
minal to the”wallreceptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer shouid have the circuit
checked bya 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.
USAGE SITLJATIONSWHERE APPLIANCE’S
PC?WERCORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plugin these situations
because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the twoprong wall receptacle replaced with a threeprong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet (115volt.

POWER CONSUMPTION
The kilowatt hours per month (Kwh/Mo.)
shown on the fact tag attached to the
inner door is the measure of the power
consumed when tested in accordance with
AHAM Standard HRF-2ECFT with power
saver switch at the normal setting and at
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for
a day, adjust the Cold Control Dials
accordingly.
If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the Freezer for a day,
the Cold Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness is not
to your liking, adjust the dials accordingly,
Check a day after resetting either dial to
make sure new setting is providing the temperature you desire.
