INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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 outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
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, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUG
Because of potential hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to
use an adapter, where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to
a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
of a UL-listed adapter available at most local
hardware stores.
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.
Use of an adapter plug will increase the
clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground
terminal to a 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 in place with one
hand while pulling the power cord plug with the
other 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.
Preferred Method
Temporary Method
Align large
prongs/slots.
Insure proper grounding
and firm connection
before use.
Insure proper grounding
exists before using.
