Starting the Refrigerator
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 outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores_.
The larger slot in the adapter
mustbe aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to
provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord.

CAUTION: Attaching on 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 isgrounded through the house wiring.. You
should have circuit checked by a qualified elec|rician 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 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 isabsolutely 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.
Electrical Requirements
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet-115 volt, 60 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_
Location
• Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded.
• Do not install it where the temperature will go
below 60°F. because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install it next to your range, a heating vent
or where the sunwill shine directly on it.
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides ........5/8" Top ...................1" Back .................1"
(If buibin, allow 7/8" attop for hinge covers.)
If refrigerator is against a walt on either side, allow
3/4" for door dearance_
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 halfvvay-open position,
there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the
cabineL 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.
"!"oadjust the rollers:
• Remove the base grille_
Grasp it at the bottom and
pull it out.
° Turn the roller adjusting "_"
screws clockwise to raise
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise to lower it. Use
an adjustable wrench or
pliers on the 3/8" bolts
Both doors should close
properly when bottom
front edge of refrigerator
cabinet isabout 5/8"
from the floor.
• To replace the
base grille, line up
the prongs on the grille
with the clamps on the
refrigerator and push
forward until the grille
snaps into place.
