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.

cord.					Fta 2 _r_	FIRM CONNECTION

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-wiregrounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be

!5 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

Electrical Requirements

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet--ll5 volt, 60 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.

Starting the Refrigerator

Location

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

o Do not install 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.

Clearances

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

Sides o. •3/4" Top 1" Back 1"

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.

To adiust the rollers:

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

o Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise

the refrigerator, counter- clockwise to lower ito

Use a blade-type screwdriver. Both doors should close properly when bottom front edge

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

o To replace		the	base	]
grille,	line	up the	prongs	1\
on the grille with the
clamps	on the refrigerator
and push forward			until

the grille snaps into place°
