S ar ing the Refrigerator
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 wall 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,

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 termina! break,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been esfrablished,
Use of Extension Cords
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we s_rong_y recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect
1o 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--ll5 volt, 60 Hertz,
or 100 volt, 50 Hertz, single phase AC_ This is
recommended for best performance and to prevent
overloading house ,wiring circuits, which could cause
a fire hazard from overheating wires,
Location
• Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded..
o Do not install it where the temperature will go
below 60°Fobecause it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
o 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 ...... 1"
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 just enough that the doors close easily when
opened about halfway.,
To adjust the rollers:
o Remove the base grilte_
Grasp it at the bottom
and pull it out_
o Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise to Mower it0 Use
a blade-type screwdriver°
Both doors should close
properly when bottom
front edge of refrigerator cabinet is about 3/4"
from the floor°
o 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.
