Installation Requirement
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, aTEMPOWRY
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD . .
(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT
PERMITTED IN CANADAI
,
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:
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and wall outlet is grounded
through house wiring. You should
have the 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; DONOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Use of Etiension Cords
of potential safety
Because
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 15 amperes (minimum) and
120 volts. Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
service organization.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet—
(115 volt, 60 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.
Refrigerator hcation
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below 60°F.
because it will not run often enough
I
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.

Water Supply to Icemaker

will need to connect your
You
water supply kit containing copper
instructions is available at extra
cost from your deder. There should
be sufficient tubing for the icemaker
from the cold water supply to allow
you to move the refrigerator out from
the wall several feet (approximately
3 coils of l/4-inch copper tubing
that measures at least 10 inches in
diameter).

Read Carefully.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers, which enable
you to move your refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning, are
located behind the base grille.
These rollers should be set so that
the refrigerator is firmly Positioned
on the fl;or and the frofi~is raised
just enough that the doors close
Specially designed door hinges lift
both doors slightly when opened.
The force of gravity then helps
close the door automatically.
PULL OUT
To adjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
adjustable wrench (3/8" hex head
bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, it is recommended
that the bottom front edge of the
cabinet be approximately 5/8" from
the floor.
To replace base grille, align prongs
on back of grille with clamps in
cabinet and push forward until
grille snaps into place.
