Starting the Refrigerator
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an
adapter plugo 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°
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.

_1 _EFO.E use
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_ It:this
is not done, the adapter ground terminal isvery 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-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
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 overheated wires..
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°F. (16°C,) because it wiil 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.
Cleara nces
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides
.......................................
3/4" (19 ram)
Top ................................................ 1" (25 mm)
Back ..................................... I" (25 mm)
For deep door models, leave ly/' (44 mm} door
clearance on the hinge side if the refrigerator is installed
against the wall.
Leveling
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable you to
move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
These rollers shoutd 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.
- 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" ( 19 ram) 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
