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 two-prong wall

INSURE PROPER
GROUND AND
FIRM CONNECTION
BEFORE USE
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 the adapter
ground terminal to the wail 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 adspier^ 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
terinlnal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
Use of HAteiislon Cords
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the

The refrigerator should always
be plugged Its own
individual electrical outlet—
(115 volt, 60 Hertz, or 100 volt, 50
Hertz, single phase AC). This is
recommended for best performance
8.n(i to prcVCIit overloading hOUSC
wiring circuits, which could cause
a fire hazard from overheating wires.
Refrigerator locatloo
Do not install refrigerator where
temperature will go below 60°E
because it will not run often enough
to maintain proper temperatures.
Do install it on a floor strong
enough to support a fuOy loaded
refrigerator.

When bnlliltiig a new home
Consider providing a water supply
to the refrigerator location. It will
simplify connection of an optional
automatic icemaker should you
wish tn install one, at a later date.
Adjustable rollers, which enable
you to move your refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning, are
located behind the base grille.
These rollers should be set so the
refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor and the front is raised just
enough that the doors close easily
when onened about halfway.
TV) adjust rollers, remove the base
grille by grasping it at the bottom
and pulling it out.
Turn roller adjusting screws
clockwise to raise the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it. Use
adjustable wrench (3/8" hex head
bolt) or pliers.
When adjusting the front rollers
for proper door closure, it is
recommended that the bottom front
edge of the cabinet be approximately
3/4" from the floor.
