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 local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNE~ION 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 tigned with the larger slot in the wdl oudet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to wall outlet cover screw does not ground appliance unless cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and wall outlet is grounded through 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 N~ USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of Etiemion 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 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

The refrigerator should almys k plqed into its 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 bcation

Do not install refrigerator where temperature will go below 60°F.

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

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

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical connections:

Water Supply to Icemaker

You will need to connect your icemaker to a cold water line. A water supply kit containing copper tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and instructions is available at extra cost from your dealer. There should be sufficient tubing for the icemaker from the cold water supply to allow moving the refrigerator out from the wall several feet (approximately 8 feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three 10-inch diameter coils.)

Rollers

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. To assure that the

doors will close automatically from

.

ahalfway-open position, there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet. 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 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.

men adjusting front m~ers for proper door closure, we recommend that the bottom front edge of the cabinet be approximately 3/4” from the floor.

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