For personal
safety, this appliance must
be prooeyly grounded.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped
with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard

wall outlet to minimize
the possibility of electric

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
If you have only a standard

wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility
and obligation
to
have it replaced
with a properly

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching
an adapter ground terminal to
the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated,
and the wall outlet is grounded
through the
house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by
a qualified
electrician
to make sure the outlet 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
the adapter ground terminal break, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
Electrical
Requirements
The refrigerator
should always be plugged
into its
own individual
electrical
outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides
the best performance
and also prevents
overloading
house wiring circuits, which could cause
a fire hazard from overheating
wires.
Use of Extension
Cords
Because
of potential
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
extension
cord having a grounding
type plug and outlet and that
the electrical
rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum)
and 120 volts.
