SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

INSTALLATION When using a 3-pronged plug 3-pronged Receptacle 3-pronged plug Receptacle Box Cover When using a grounding adapter, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded. Grounding Lead Screw Receptacle Grounding Adapter Receptacle Box Cover Steady, flat location: If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling, frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the level leg clockwise to raise that side to the refrigerator or turn counter-clockwise to lower that side. Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator will take some weight off the leveling leg. This makes it easier to adjust the leveling leg. Ventilation: Place refrigerator approximately 5 inches from the wall to ensure proper airflow to the compressor. Do not place refrigerator near any heat resources such as a heater or stove as it will put a strain on the compressor. Power supply: . Check your local power source. This refrigerator requires a 1 1 5V,60Hz power supply. . Use a receptacle that will accept the ground prong. 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. Do not use extension cords or ungrounded(two prong) adapters. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. If you have only a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pun straight out from the outlet. NOTES:
