The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in the
walloutlet to provideproper polarity
in the connection of the powercord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screwdoes not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and not
insulated. and walloutlet isgrounded
through house wiring. Youshould
havethe circuitcheckedbyaqualified
electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, alwayshold
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,
ve 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
tjrpe appliance extensioncord having
a mounding type plug and outlet
a;d that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15amperes (minimum) and
120volts. 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, 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 ofien enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.

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

icemaker to allow you to movethe
refrigeratorout from the wallseveral
f=t (approximately3coilsof l/4-inch
copper tubing that is at least 10
inches in diameter).
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.
To adjust 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 (3/8” hex head
bolt) or pliers.

door closure, it is recommended that
the bottom front edge of the cabinet
be approximately5/$?’fmm the floor.
