Use of Adapter Plug Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug However, if you stilt elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECT(ON may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong waft outlet by use ofa UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in lhe wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord TEMPORARYMETHOD (ADAPTER PLUGS NOT PERMr_EDINr-"_NADA) ALIGN LARGE II _r_" II I _:_ • || _ig, 2 INSURE PROPER GROUND AND FIRM CONNECTION BEFORE USE ..... CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground teiminal to the wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outtet is grounded through the 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 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 stilt 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 t 20 volts. 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. Starting the Refrigerator Location • Install the refrigerator on o floor strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. o Do not install it where the temperature will be below 60°F. (16°C) because it wilt 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 plumbingand electrical connections: Sides (I 6 mm) 5/8" Top I."....(.25 mm} Back I."....(.2..5....ram) (If built-in, allow 7/8" [22 mm] at top for hinge covers.) If the refrigerator is against a wall on either side, allow the following door clearances: For models up to and including 25, allow 3/4" ( 19 mm).. For 27 models allow t _.6"(38 ram).. 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 rests firmly on the floor.. To assure that the doors will close automatically from a halfway-open position, there is a buibin 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 the rollers: ,, Remove the base grille. Grasp itat the bottom and pull it out ° Turn the roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it Use an adjustable wrench or pliers on the 3/8" bolts.. Both doors should dose properly when bottom front edge of refrigerator cabinet is about 5/8" (16 mm) from the floor - To replace the base grille, line up the prongs on the grille with the clamps on the refrigerator and push back until the grille snaps into place.
