Use of adapter plug

Because of potenfia! safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use oFan adapter plug However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made o a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter (Fig 2) avallabie at most local hardware stores_

larger slot in the wa]l outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection oFthe 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 terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potentia} 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 _isted 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outie! and that the electrical rating of the cord be

15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts

EJectrica! 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 over{oading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheating wires

Starting the Refrigerator

Location

•Instal! the refrigerotor on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully Ioadedo

o Do not install it where the temperature will go below 60°F because it wilt not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures..

°Do not instati 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	.........5/8"	Top	..............0"	Back	1"
(if built-in, allow		7/8"	at top for hinge covers		)

Allow a 1 Y2"door clearance at Convenience Center side,

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wal_ for cteaning These rollers should Be set so the refrigerator rests firmly on the floor, To assure that the doors will

close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a buibin tilt from the front to the back of the

cabineL Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help close them securely

To adjust the rollers:

o Remove the base grille._ Grasp it at the bottom and putl it out,

•Turn the roibr adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- clockwise to lower it. Use

an adjustable wrench or

p{iers on the 3/8" bolts Bolh doors should close

properly when bottom front edge of refrigerator cabinet is about 5/8" 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.
