tion of optional automatic

icemaker shoulc

you wish to install one at a later date.

Your refrigerator should not be installed where

the temperature will go below 60°F. because

the refrigerator will not run frequently enough

to maintain proper temperatures.

Be sure to install on a floor strong enough to

support a fully loaded refrigerator.

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the re-

frigerator should be set so the refrigerator is

firmly positioned cm the floor, and the fron/ is

raised just enough that the doors close easily

when opened about half-way.Remove the grille

out. (See Fig. 1).

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong

(grounding) plug which

mates with a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig. 4) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appli-
~nce. The customer should have the wall
‘eceptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
;Iectrician

to make sure the receptacle

is

BEFOREUSE

Because of potential safety hazards under cer-

tain conditions,

we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug, However, if

you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNEC-
TION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL

listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5). The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord,

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does

not ground the appliance unless the cover

screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

receptacle

is grounded through the house

wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked bya qualified electrician

to make

sure the receptacle 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 this happen. DO NOT USE the

appliance until a proper ground has again
been established,

USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S

POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY

—

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations

because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle

replaced with a three-

pmng (grounding)

receptacle by a qualified

electrician before using the appliance.

The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical

outiet (115volt,

60 hertz, single phase AC.)
