IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO CONNECT EI ECTRI(;ITY
Do not, raider any circumstaalces, cut or removethe third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must beproperly grounded.
The p_wer cord of this appliance is equippedwith a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grotmding) wall outletto minimize the possibili_' ot electric shock
ha/m'd fl'om this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bv
a qualified electrician to make stue the outletis properly gmtmded.
_]_ere a standard 2-prong wall outlet isencotmtered, it is yore" personal responsibili_'
and obligation to have it replaced with aproperly grotmded 3-prong wall outlet.
The refrigerator should alwa):s be plugged intoits own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best perfinmance and also
prevents overloading house wiring drcuits which
could cause a fire hazard fl'om overheated wires.
Never tmplug yore" refl_igerator by pulling on the
power cord. Mwa):s grip plug firefly and pull
straight out fl'om the outlet.
Repair or replace immediatelv ;all p{_wer cords
that have become fl'ayed or otherwise damaged.
Do not use a cord that sho_vs cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end.
_]_en moving the refl_igerator away fl'om the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
USE OF EXT NSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazax&s under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against theuse of an extension cord.
SAVE
However; if you m ust use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, B-wire
grotmding _'pe appliance extension cord having
a grounding D'pe plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 w_lts,

jacts about
the dispenso
• Do not add ice fl'om trax:s or bags to
the storage drawer. It may not c_ush or
dispense well.
• Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of
narrow glasses. Backed-up ice can jam thechute or cause the door in the chute to
ti'eeze shut. If ice is blocking the chute,
poke it through with a wooden spoon.
• Beverages and foods should not be
quick-chilled in the ice storage drawe_:
Cans, bottles or ti)od packages in the
storage drawer may cause the icemaker
or auger to jam.
• To kee I) dispensed ice fl'om missing the glass,
put the glass close to, but not touching, the
dispenser opening.
• SoIne cIushed ice Inav be dispensed even
though you selected CUBED ICE. This
hal)pens occasionally when a few cubes
accidentally get directed to the c_ usher.
• After crashed ice is dispensed, some water
may drip fl'om the chute.
• Sometimes a small motmd of snow will ti)rm
on the door in the ice chute. This condition
is normal and usually occurs when you have
dispensed crashed ice repeatedly. The snow
will eventually evaporate. 19
