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 wall
outlet by use of a
listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

INSURE PROPER
ANO FIRM CONNECTION
BEFORE USE
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the
slot in the
wall outlet to provide
polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching an 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 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
DO
USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been
Use of
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 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
This is
recommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a
fire hazard from overheating wires.
Refrigerator location
Install the refrigerator on a floor
strong enough to support it when
it is fully loaded.
Do not instill refrigerator where
temperature will go below
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures,
Also see Energy-Saving Tips
regarding location.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances
for ease of installation and proper
air circulation:
Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3/4”
Top . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1“
Back. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1“
If model
or
is to be
installed against a wall on the hinge
side,
11/2” for door clearance.
Water Supply to Icemaker
If your refrigerator has an
icemaker, or if you plan to add an
icemaker later, the icemaker
have to be connected 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 icemaker from the
cold water
to
moving
the refrigerator out from the wall
several feet (approximately 8 feet
of 1/4” copper tubing in three
10-inch diameter coils).
Rollers
Adjustable rollers, which enable
you to move the refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning, are
located near the front corners of the
refrigerator. These rollers
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.
I
To
the rollers, turn the
roller-adjusting screws clockwise to
raise the refrigerator, counterclock-
wise to lower it. Use a blade-type
screwdriver.
adjusting front rollers for proper
door closure, we recommend that
the bottom front edge of the cabinet
be approximately 3/4” from the floor.
If your refrigerator has a base
grille, you can turn the adjusting
screws through openings in the grille.
If you would rather remove the
base grille, grasp the bottom of the
grille and
it out.
To replace the base grille, lineup
the clips on the back of the grille
with the openings in the baseplate
and push the grille forward until it
snaps into place.
