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
CONNECI'ION 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.

Larger slot in adapter must be
aligned with larger slot in wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in
connection of 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 use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal
break, DO N(YI'
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 100 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°F.
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

ease of installation and proper air
circulation:

Water Supply to Icemaker
(on models
so
equipped)
If your refrigerator has an
icemaker, or if you plan to add an
icemaker later, the icemaker will
have to be connected to 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 moving
the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 8 feet
of 1/4" copper tubing in three
10-inch diameter coils).

Rollers/Leveling Legs
Some models have adjustable
rollers that enable you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning; other models have
adjustable leveling legs.
Rollers or legs, located behind the
base grille, should be set
so
the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor and the front is raised
just
enough that the doors close easily
when opened about halfway.
To adjust rollers or leveling legs,
remove the base grille by grasping
it at the bottom and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws or
leveling legs clockwise to raise
refrigerator, counterclockwise to
lower it. Use adjustable wrench
(3/8" hex head bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers or
leveling legs for proper door
closure, it is recommended that the
bottom front edge of the cabinet be
approximately 3/4" from the floor.
To
replace base grille, align
prongs on back of grille with
clamps in cabinet and
push
forward
until grille snaps into place.
