Installation - GE TFX22R Use And Care Manual

Installation Requirements
(continued)-IMPORTANT...Please Read Carefully
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 wal!
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°
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
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 user
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.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet--
(115 volt, 60 Hertz, or t00 volt, 50
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.
Refrigerator Location
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below 60°E
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for
ease of installation and proper air
circulation:
Sides ..................... 5/8"
Top .................. 1"
Back ................. 1"
If the refrigerator is against a wall
on either side, allow 3/4" for door
clearance.
Water Supply to Icemaker
You will need to connect your
icemaker m a cold water line, A
water supply kit containing copper
tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra
cost from your dealer. There should
be sufficient tubing for the icemaker
from the cold water supply to allow
you to move the refrigerator out from
the wall severa! feet (approximately
8 feet of 114" copper tubing in three
10-inch diameter coils°)
Rollers
To replace base grille, align prongs
on back of grille with clamps in
cabinet and push forward until
grille snaps into place.
Adjustable roller's behind the base
grille enable you to move the
refrigerator away from the watt 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
close them securely.
To adjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower ito Use
adjustable wrench (3/8" hex head
bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, we recommend
that the bottom front edge of the
cabinet be approximately 5/8" from
the floor_
