Starting the Refrigerator
Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against useof an
adapter plug, However, if you stil! elect to use on
adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL [isled adapter
(Fig, 2) available at most [ocat 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
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the walt outlet is grounded through the house wiring, You
should have circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet isproperly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, ok,rays 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 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 absolulely 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 vohs
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,,
Location
• Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded
• Do not instati it where the temperature will go
below 60°1:: because itwill 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 ptumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides ..........5/8" Top ..................1" Back ................1"
(if built-in, allow 7/8" at top for hinge covers )
Allow a 1Y_"door clearance at refrigerator side,
15/- at freezer 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
restsfirmly on the floor, To assure that the doors will
close automatically from a halfwoy_open position,
there isa buitFin tilt from the front to the back of the
cabinet Side-by-side refrigerators also have specia!ly
designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly
when opened, allowlng the force of gravity to help
close them securely
To adjust the rollers:
• Remove the base grille,
Grasp it at the bottom and
pullit out,
• Turn the roller adjusting
screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise to lower iL 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
lhe prongs on the grille
with the clamps on the
refrigerator and push
forward until the grille
snaps into place,
