Please Read Carefully

Use of Adapter Plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly ~ommend againstuse of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECIION maybemadetoap~rlym

two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores.

The Iarger 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 adapter ground terminal to wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and walloutlet is grounded through house wiring. You should havethe circuit checked by a qwdified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwayshold 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 15amperes (minimum) and 120volts. Such extension cords are obtainable through your local service organization.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet—

(115volt, 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 Location

Donot install refrigerator where temperature will go below 60”F.

because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

Do install it on a floor strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

Also see Energy-Saving Tips regarding location.

Water Supply to Icemaker

Youwill need to connect your icemaker to a cold water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-offvalve, fittingsand instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. 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 is at least 10inches in diameter).

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 floor and the front is raised just enough that the doors close easily when opened about halfway. Specially designed door hinges lift both doors slightly when opened. The force of gravity then helps close the door automatically.

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.

Whenadjusting 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 b=cgril.ie, align prongs on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push forward until grille snaps into place.
