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
lwo-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..

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the
walt outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the
wail outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You
should have the 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 safely 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
overheating wires..
Starting the Refrigerator
Location
e Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded.
e Do not install it where the temperature will go
below 60°F. (16°C_) 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 ........ 5/8" (] 6 mm) Top ...................... 1" (25 mm)
Back ................ 1" (25 mm)
(If built-in,
allow 7/8"
[22 mm] at top for hinge covers_)
Allow a 1 '.,'2" ( 38 mm) door clearance at Convenience
Center side.
Rollers
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, To assure that the doors will
close automatica[ly from a halfway-open position,
there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the
cabinet Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially
designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly
when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help
close them securely
To adjust 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 it Use
an adjustable wrench or
pliers on the 3/8" bolts. Both
doors should close properly
when bottom front edge of
refrigerator cabinet is about
5/8" 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.
