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) ovallable at most local hardware stores.
The forger slot in the
adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the
wait outlet to provide
proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord.

BEFORE USE
CAUTION: Attaching an adopter ground terminal
to the waif outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wail 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
oadespter, 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 adopter ground terminal break,
go NOT USE the opplionce until o proper
ground hos 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, It 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
IS amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
Electrical Requirements
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet—^115 volt, 60 Hertz,
single phase AC. This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard
from overheating wires.
• Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when if 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 eose of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides -. .5/8" Top...................................................1" Back . . . . . 1"
(If built-in, allow 7/8" at top for hinge covers.)
If refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow
3/4" for door clearance.
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
close automatically 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 edfust the rollers:
• Remove the base grille.
Grasp It at the bottom
and cull it out.
“ Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter­
clockwise to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench or
pliers on the 3/8" bolts.
Both doors should dose
properly when bottom
front edge of refrigerotor
cabinet is about 5/8"
from the floor.
• To replace the
hose grille, line up
the prongs on the grille
with the clamps on the
refrigerator and push
forward until the grille
snaps into place.
