INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT…Please Read Carefully
How to Connect Electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must
be properly grounded.
The power cord of this
appliance is equipped
with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which
mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet (Fig. 1) 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.
If you have only a standard two-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUNDING)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential
safety 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 two-prong wall outlet by use of a
UL-listed adapter (Fig. 2), 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.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal to
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
wall outlet is grounded through 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.
Insure proper
ground exists
before use
TEMPORARY METHOD
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
Align large
prongs/slots
Insure proper ground and firm
connection before use.
PREFERRED
METHOD
Electrical Requirements Use of Extension Cords
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.
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.
