Sears 52268 - Manual (Page 3)

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

BEFORE 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 hove 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 adopter with one hand
If this is not done, the adopter 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
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.
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,.
• Do not instoll 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........ 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 lilt 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
close them securely.
To adjust the rollers:
• Remove the base grille.
Grasp if at the bottom and
pull ¡tout.
• Turn the roller adjusting
screws
clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter­
clockwise to lower it. Use
an odjustable wrench or
pliers on the 3/8" bolts,.
Both doors should close
properly when bottom
front edge of refrigerator
cabinet is about 5/8"
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,.
