Use of adapter plug
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 walt outlet by use of a UL listed adapter (Fig
2) available at most local hardware stores.
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,

BEFORE
USE
adapter ground lerminal to the wall outlet cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulaled, 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 potential 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
listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be t5 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts,
Electrical 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
overloading
house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires
Starting the Refrigerator
Location
• Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded
° Do not install it where the temperature will go below
60°F, because it will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures
° Do not install 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 ............. 3/4"
Top ............... 1"
Back ................ ] "
Leveling
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers should be set so the refrigerator rests firmly
on the floor with the front raised iust enough that the
doors close easily when opened about halfway
To adjust the rollers:
" Remove the base grille,
Grasp it at the bottom
and pull it out,
" Turn the roller adiusting
screws clockwise
to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise
to lower
it.,Use a
blade4ype screwdriver, Both
doors should close properly
when bottom front edge of
refrigerator cabinet is about 3/4"
from the floor,
