Yourrefrigerator should not be installed where
the temperature will go below 60°F. because
the refrigerator willnot run frequently enough

Be sure to install on a floor strong enough to
support a fullyloaded refrigerator.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wallreceptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possi-
bilityof electric shock hazard from this appli-
~nce. The customer should have the wall
‘eceptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
;Iectrician to make sure the receptacle is

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 is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should 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 SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in 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 two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-
pmng (grounding)
receptacle bya qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outiet (115volt,
60 hertz, single phase AC.)
