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

FIRM CONNECTION
BEFORE USE
CAUTION; Attaching an adapter ground terminal
to the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metol, 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
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this Is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter 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
an extension cord. It Is absolutely necessary that it
be a UL listed 3-wire 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
115 volt, 60 Hertz, single phase AC is required.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet. This is recommended
for best performance and to prevent overloading
house wiring circuits, which could cause
a fire
hazard from overheating wires.
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.
® Do not install it next to your range, a heating vent
or where the sun will shine directly on it.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides .. 3/4" Top........................... 1" Back..................... 1"
Leveling
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 with the front
raised just enough that the doors close easily when
opened about halfway.
To (stijiist the rollers:
® Remove the base grille.
Grasp it at the bottom
and pull it out.
® Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter­
clockwise to lower it.
Use a blade-type
screwdriver. Both doors
should close properly
when bottom front edge
of refrigerator cabinet is about 3/4" from the floor.
® To replace the base
grille, line up the prongs
on the grille with the
clomps on the refrigerator
and push forward until
the grille snaps into place.
