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) avaiIable at most local
hardware stores.

PRONGS/SLOTS ~ , .,
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 use.

13ecauseof potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
~l~e s trong]y recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is abso]utel y necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
ty~9eappliance extension cord l-Mv-
ing a grounding type plugand outlet
and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15amperes (minimum)and
120volts. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
l%e refrigerator should
always be plugged into its own
individual dectricd Outkt-
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt,
50 Hertz, singlephase AC). This is
recommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause
a possible fire hazard from over-
heating wires.
Refrigerator Installation
Location
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below 60°F.
because it willnot run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on 8 floor strong
enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.

regarding location.

water Sltipply to Ieemal(er
(on modelsso equipped)
You will need to connect your
icemaker 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 icernaker from the cold water
supply to allow you to move the
refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 3 coils
of l/4-inch copper tubing that
measure at least 10 inches in
diameter).

Rollers/LevelingLegs
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
grill, should be set so the refriger-
ator 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 base grille by grasping it
at bottom and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws or
Ievehg legs clockwise to raise
refrigerator, counterclockwiseto
lower it. Use adjustablewrench
(3/8"hex head bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers or
levelinglegsforproper door closure,
it is recommended that the bottom
front edge of the cabinet be
approximately 3/4"from the floor.
