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 focal 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

BEFOREUSE
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 wail 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 e!ectricat 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 °E 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 fo!lowing
clearances
for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides .............3/4"
Tap .............. 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 halfi,vay.
To adjust the rollers:
• Remove the base grille
Grasp it at the bottom
and putl it out
•Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise
to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise
to lower
it.
Use a blade-type
screwdriver. Both doors
should close properly
when bottom front edge of
refrigerator cabinet is about 3/4" 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.
