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 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.

Starting the Refrigera or

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

e Do not install it next to your range, a heating vent or where the sun will shine directly on ito

The larger 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°

Clearances

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

Sides , __5/8"	Top	0"	Back	t"
(If built-in,allow 7/8" at top for hinge covers.)

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 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 t20 volts_

Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlets115 volt, 60 Hertz, single phase AC_ This is recommended far best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheating wires,

Allow a 1 ½" door clearance at refrigerator side, 13/4" at freezer side.

Leveling

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 with the front 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 helps close

them automatically.

To adjust the rollers:

•Remove the base grille. Grasp it at the bottom and pull it out.

=Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- clockwise to lower ito 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_

o 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_
