Use of adapter plug

Because of potential safely 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, o 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

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance untess the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the walt 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 safely hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use oFan extension cord However, if you stilt 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 electrica! rating of the cord be

15 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 perf'ormance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard From overheating wires

Starting the Refrigerator

Location

o 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

AItow the following clearances For ease oJ_installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical

connections:

Sides ...... 5/8" Top ............. 1" Back ........... t"

Allow 3/4" for door clearance at each side.

Railers

Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to move the refrigerator away from the wan for cleaning These ro!Jers 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 buiiNn tilt from the front to the back of the

cabineL Side-by-side refrigerators atso 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:

•Remove the base grille Grasp it at the bottom and puiJ it out

o Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- _'_ clockwise to lower it. Use

an adjustable wrench or

pliers on the 3/8" bolts Both doors should close

properly when Bottom front edge of refrigerator cabinet is about 5/8" from the floor

•To replace the base grille, llne up the prongs on the gritle with the damps an the refrigerator and push Forward until the grille snaps into place.
