 Read Carefully.

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

 maybe made to a

properly grounded two-prong 
outlet by use of a 

 listed adapter

(Fig. 2) available at most local

hardware stores.

INSURE PROPER GROUND
AND FIRM 
BEFORE USE

The 

 slot in the adapter must be

aligned-with the larger 

 in the

 outlet to provide proper polarity

in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION:  Attaching an adapter

ground terminal to 

 outlet cover

screw does not ground an appliance

unless cover screw is metal, and 
insulated, and 

 outlet is

grounded through 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 

 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 

 listed 3-wire grounding

type appliance extension cord
having a grounding type plug and

4

outlet and that the electrical rating
of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 120 volts.

The refrigerator should always
be plugged into 

 own

individual electrical 

(115 volt, 60 Hertz, or 100 volt, 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 
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.

Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support it fully loaded.

Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for
ease of installation, proper air
circulation, and plumbing and
electrical connections:

Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Allow the following door clearance:

Freezer Side ..............................1%”

Water Supply to 

You will need to connect your

 to a cold water line. A

water supply kit containing copper
tubing, shut-off valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra cost
from your dealer. There should be
sufficient tubing for the 

from the cold water supply to allow
moving the refrigerator out from the

 several feet (approximately 8

feet of 1/4” copper tubing in three

10-inch diameter coils).

Rollers

Adjustable rollers behind the base
grille enable you to move your
refrigerator away from the 

 for

cleaning. These rollers should be set
so the refrigerator rests 

 on the

floor. To 

 that the 

 will

close automatically from a halfway -
open position, there is a built-in tilt
from the front to the back of the
cabinet. Side-by-side refrigerators

 have specially designed door

hinges that lift both doors 
when opened, allowing the force of
gravity to help close them securely.

To adjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.

 the roller adjusting screws

clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench (3/8” hex
head bolt) or pliers.

When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, we recommend
the bottom front edge of the cabinet
be approximately 5/8” from the floor.

To replace base grille,  align prongs 

-

on back of 

 with clamps in

cabinet and-push forward 
grille snaps into place.
