MUSTBE PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong (grobnding)
wall receptacle (Fig.4) to minimize-the possi-
bilityof electric shock hazard from this appli-
ance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.
Vhere a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
ncountered, it is Lhe personal responsibility
nd obligation of the customer to have it re-
lated with a properly grounded three-prong

BEFOREUSE
Becauseof potential safety hazards under cer-
tain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the useof an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNEC-
TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5), The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw ismetal. and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked bya qua~ified 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 SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S
POWER CORD WiLL BE D!SCOINNECTED
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord piaces undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall recepi acie replaced with a tiwee-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using [he appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individua] electrical outlet (115vol[,
60 hertz, single phase AC.) .,’
