Yourrefrigerator should not be installed where
the temperature will go below 60°F. because
the refrigerator will not run frequently enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Be sure to install on a floor strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.
Adjustingscrews for raising or lowering rollers
are located behind the grille. Set these screws
so
the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the
floor and rhe jiont is raised just enough that

FORPERSONAL SAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE
MUSTBE PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig. 4) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appli-
ance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.

lecause of potential safety hazards under
cer-
ain conditions, we strongly
recommend
,gainstthe use of an adapter plug. However,
if
~oustill elect to use an adapter, where local
:odes permit, a TEMPORARY Connec-
tion may be made to a properly grounded
we-prong wall receptacle by the use of a LJL
isted adapter which is available at most local
lardware stores (Fig. 5). The larger slot in the
idapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
.he wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
n the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle 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 repeatec
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE tht
appliance until a proper ground has agair
been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE'S
PCMEF?CORD WILL BE DISCONN=T~D
w4EQUHWTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet (115volt.
60 hertz, single phase AC.)
