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
CONNE~ION
maybe made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet
by use of a
UL
listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most
local
hardware stores.
TEMPORARY METHOD
r:”->
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 wall outlet cover
screw does not ground an appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall 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 break, DO NOT
USE
the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been
eshblished.
Use of
Etiension
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.
The refrigerator should always
be plugged into its own
individual electrical
outlet—
(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
bcation
Do
not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below
60°F.
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support it
fully loaded.

regarding location.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for
ease of installation, proper air
circulation, and plumbing and
electrical connections:
Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5/8”
Top . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1“
Back . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1“
Allow the following door clearance:
Sides . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3/4”
Water Supply to Icemaker
You will need to connect your
icemaker to a cold water line. A
water supply kit containing copper
tubing, shutoff valve, fittings and
instructions is available at extra
cost from your dealer. There
should be sufficient tubing for the
icemaker from the cold water supply
to allow 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 behind the base
grille enable you to move your
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 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 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 rollers,
remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
Turn the roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench (3/8” hex
head bolt) or pliers.
Wen
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 grille with clamps in
cabinet and push forward until
grille snaps into place.
