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 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°K 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.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides., 3/4" Top ....... I" Back ........... 1"

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance uhless 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 appffance 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 120 volts,

Electrical Requirements

115volt, 60 Hertz, single phase AC is required.

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet. This is recommended

for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheating 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 halfway.

To adjust the rollers:

=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 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.
