Use of adapter plug

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug, However, if you stil! elect to use on adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL [isled adapter (Fig, 2) available at most [ocat hardware stores

Starting the Refrigerator

Location

•Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded

•Do not instati it where the temperature will go below 60°1:: 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,

TEMPORARY METHOD

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circulation, and ptumbing and electrical connections:

Sides ..........5/8" Top ..................1" Back ................1"

(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 walt 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, ok,rays 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 absolulely 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 vohs

Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical 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 overheating wires,,

Allow a 1 Y_" door clearance at refrigerator side, 15/- at freezer side

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 a halfwoy_open position, there is a buitFin tilt from the front to the back of the cabinet Side-by-side refrigerators also have specia!ly designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly when opened, allowlng the force of gravity to help close them securely

To adjust the rollers:

•Remove the base grille, Grasp it at the bottom and pullit out,

•Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- clockwise to lower iL 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

•To replace the base grille, line up

lhe prongs on the grille with the clamps on the refrigerator and push forward until the grille snaps into place,
