Use of adapter
plug
Because of potenfia! safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use oFan
adapter plug However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION
may be made |o a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig 2) avallabie at most local hardware stores_
larger slot in the wa]l outlet to
provide proper polarity in the
connection oFthe power
cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring You
should have 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 NOT USE the appliance
until a proper
ground
has again been established.
Use of
Extension Cords
Because of potentia} 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 _isted 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug and
outie! and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts
EJectrica! Requirements
The refrigerator
should always
be plugged
into its
own individual
electrical
outlet which has a voltage
rating
that matches the rating plate. This provides the
best performance and also prevents over{oading
house
wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from
overheating wires
Starting the Refrigerator
Location
• Instal! the refrigerotor on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully Ioadedo
o Do not install it where the temperature will go
below 60°F because it wilt not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures..
° Do not instati it next to your range, a heating vent
or where the sun will shine directly on it
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides ......... 5 /8"
Top .............. 0 "
Back ..............1"
(if built-in, allow 7/8"
at top for hinge covers )
Allow a 1 Y2"door clearance at Convenience Center
side,
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable
you to move the refrigerator away from the wal_ for
cteaning 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 buibin tilt from the front to the back of the
cabineL 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 the rollers:
o Remove the base grille._
Grasp it at the bottom and
putl it out,
• Turn the roibr adjusting
screws clockwise
to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise
to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench or
p{iers on the 3/8" bolts
Bolh doors should close
properly when bottom
front edge of refrigerator
cabinet is about 5/8"
from the floor
• To replace
the
base grille, line up
the prongs on the grille
with the clamps on the
refrigerator and push
forward until the grille
snaps into place.
