Because of potential safety hazards under cer-
tain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY COPINEC-
TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5). The larger slot in the
adapter must be aiigned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in 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.

Allow5/8 inch at each side and top for ease of
installation and door clearance. When building
a new home, consider providing water supply
to refrigerator location. It will simplifyconnec-
tionof optional automatic icemaker should you
wish to install one at a later date.
Yourrefrigerator-should not be ins[alled where
[he temperature will go below 60°F. because
the refrigerator will not run frequently enough
to main(ain proper temperatures.

rhe power cord of this appliance is equippe
,vith a three-prong (grounding) plug whic
nates with a standard three-prong (groundinf
vail receptacle (Fi~. 4) to minimize the poss
]ility of electric shock hazard from this appl
ance. The customer sho uId have the wa
receptacle and circuit checked by a qualifie
electrician to make sure the receptacle i
properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. lf this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen. DO NOT USE the
appliance un ti 1a proper ground has ogain
been established,

USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPL!ANCE'S
POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY
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 indi vidua] electrical outlet (1IS volt,
60 hertz, single phase AC.)
where ~ standard two-prong wa]l receptacle i
encountered, it is the personal responsibility
-lnd obligation of the customer [o have it r-e
placed with a properly grounded three-pron,
wall receptacle.
