Use of adapter plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an
adapter plug However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig 2) available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the odapfer

must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to
provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord.

SEFORE use

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the
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 circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adopter, always hold the adapter with one hond.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use

Should the adopter ground terminal break,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper

ground has again been established.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use

on extension cord, it is obsolutely necessary that it
be a UL listed 3-wlre grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and

outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be

15 amperes {minimum) and 120 volts

Electrical Requirements

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
overheating wires

Starting the Refrigerator

Location

* Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to

support it when it is fully loaded,

« Do not install it where the temperature will go

below 60° F, because it will not run often enough to

maintain proper temperatures.

a Do not install it next to your range, a heating vent

or where the sun will shine directly on if.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:

Sides........5/8" Top.,,................. 1" Back ................... 1"

Allow 3/A" for door clearance at each side

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable
you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning, These rollers should be set so the refrigerator

rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will
dose aufomatically from a halfway-open position,
there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the
cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially
designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly
when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help
dose them securely.

To adjust the rollers;

® Remove the base grille

Grasp it at the bottom and
pull (tout

” Turn the roller adjusting

screws

clockwise to raise

the refrigerotor,

counter­

clockwise to lower it. Use
