Kenmore 63141 Starting the Refrigerator, Use of adapter plug, Location, Clearances, Leveling

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 focal 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 Refrigerator

Location

•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 °E 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

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

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 wail 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 t5 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts

Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual e!ectricat outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate

This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires

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 halfi,vay.

To adjust the rollers:

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

•Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- clockwise to lower it.

Use a blade-type screwdriver. Both doors

should close properly when bottom front edge of

refrigerator cabinet is about 3/4" from the floor..

•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.
