Use of Adapter Plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,we strongly recommend against useof an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where

'localcodespermit, a TEMPORARY CONNECI'ION may be made toa properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores.

Larger slot in adapter mustbe aligned with larger slotin wall outlet to provide proper polarityin connection of powercord.

CAUTION: Attaching adapter ground terminal towall 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 electricianto make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

When disconnecting thepower cord from the adapter,always hold the adapter with one handIf. this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Shouldthe adapter ground terminal break, DO N(YI' USE the applianceuntil 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 youstill elect to usean extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding typeapplianceextension cord having

a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical ratingof the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

The refrigerator should always be plugged intoits own individual electrical outlet-

(115 volt, 60 Hertz, or 100 volt,

50 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

Do not install refrigerator where temperature will go below60°F.

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

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

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation and properair circulation:

Sides . . . . . . . . . 3/4"

Top . . . . . . . . . . . . 1"

Back . . . . . . . . . . . 1"

Water Supply to Icemaker

(on models so equipped)

If your refrigerator has an icemaker, or if youplan to add an icemaker later, the icemaker will have to be connected to a cold water line.A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shut-off valve, fittingsand instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing forthe icemaker from the cold water supply to allow moving the refrigerator out from thewall several feet (approximately8 feet

of 1/4" copper tubing in three 10-inch diameter coils).

Rollers/Leveling Legs

Some models have adjustable rollers that enable you to movethe refrigerator away from thewall for cleaning; other models have

adjustable leveling legs.

Rollers or legs, located behind the base grille, should be setso the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and the front is raisedjust enough thatthe doors close easily when opened about halfway.

To adjust rollersor leveling legs,

remove the basegrille by grasping it at the bottom and pullingit out.

Turn roller adjusting screws or leveling legs clockwise to raise refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use adjustable wrench (3/8" hex head bolt)or pliers.

When adjusting front rollersor leveling legs for proper door closure, it is recommended thatthe bottom front edgeof the cabinet be approximately 3/4" from the floor.

To replace basegrille, align prongs on back of grille with clamps in cabinet and push forward until grille snaps into place.
