I1OW 5/8 inch at each side and top for ease of
installation and door clearance. Allow 1 inch
at r-earfor plumbing and electrical connec-
ns. There should be sufficient tubing from
Id water supply to move refrigerator out
from wall severai feet (approximately 3 coils
of l/4-inch copper tubing at least 10 inches in
diameter).
Your refrigerator should not be installed
where the temperature willgo below 60*F. be-
cause 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 the .fio~ztis raised just enough that
the doors close easily when opened about half-
way. Remove the grille by grasping at bottom
and pulling up and out. (See
Fig.

IFOR PERSONAL 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 (F]g.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.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have it re-
placed with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle,
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

BEFORE USE
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 CONNEC-
TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall 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 aligned 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.
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 this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE'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
itsown individual electrical outlet (115volt,
60 hertz, single phase AC.)
