Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician

to make sure tile outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your

personal responsibili Uand obligation to have it replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Tile refl'igerator should ahvays be plugged into its own indisdual

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.

However, iiyou must !lse an adapter, where local codes permit, a

temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong

wall outlet by use of a [11Aisted adapter available at most local

hard',x'are stores.

Tile larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in

the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in tile connection of tile

power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord lrom tile adapter, always hold

the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord

phg with the other hand. It this is not done, the adapter ground

terminal is veUlikely to break with repeated use.
