Use of AdapterPlug
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
CONNE~ION maybe made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must
be alignedwith the kuger slot in the
@ outlet to pxuvideproper polarity
in the connection ofthe puwercord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. Youshould have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adap{er, alfiys 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 NCYI’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 it
be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord
having grounding type plug and
outlet, and electrical rating of cord
be 15amperes (minimum) and 120
volts. Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
service organization.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt, 50
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.
Refrigerator location
Do not install refrigerator where ~
temperature will go below 60”F.
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support it fully loaded.

regarding location.

for ease of installation, proper
air circulation, and plumbing
and electrical connections:

automatic icemaker should you wish
to installone at a later date.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers, which enable
you to move your refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning, are
located behind the base grille.
These rollers should be set so that
the refrigerator is firmly positioned
on the floor and the front is 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 then helps
close the door automatically.
Toadjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
adjustable wrench (Ml”hex head
bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, we recommend
bottom front edge of cabinet be
approximately 5/8”from the floor.
Toreplace base grille, alignprongs
on back of grille with clamps in
cabinet and push forward until
grille snaps into place.
