Adapter Plug - Hotpoint CTA13 Use And Care Manual

Installation Requirements
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against use
still elect to use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a TE~ORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most ]ocal
hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA)
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.
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. You should have the 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.

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 hav-
ing a grounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and
120 volts. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
The refrigerator should
always be–plugged into its
own individual electrical
(115 volt, W Hertz, single phase
AC). This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent over-
loading house wiring circuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard
from overheating wires.
Refrigerator hstallation
Location
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below @°F.
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support a ftily loaded
refrigerator.

Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front corners
of the refrigerator should be set so
the refrigerator is firmly positioned
on floor and the front is raised just
enough that the door closes easily
when opened about halfway.
Turn leveling legs clockwise to raise
refrigerator, counterclockwise to
lower it.
When adjusting leveling legs
for proper door closure, the front
leveling legs should be extended
downward approximately 5/8!'
