If the outlet is a standard non grounding outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded wall outlet� 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 overheated wires� Never unplug your
refrigerator by pulling on the power cord� Always grip
plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet� Repair or
replace immediately all power cord that have become frayed
or other wise damaged� Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or al either end� When
moving the refrigerator away from the wall, be careful not
to roll over or damage the power cord�
If the supply cord damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
USE OF ADAPTER
PLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes
permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of an 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 cord�
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�
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT use the
refrigerator until a proper ground has been established�
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�
