1. F(3R PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GRC)L)NDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
athree-prong (grounding] plug which mates
with astandard three-prong (grounding) wall re-
ceptacle (Fig. 1] to
miniinize the possibil-
ity of electric shock
hazard from this appli-
ance. Have the waJl
receptacle checked by
aqualified electrician
to make sure the re-
ceptacle is ~rooerlv
r6unded. ‘ ‘ “\I
here astandard two-prong wall receptacle is en-
untered, it is the personal responsibility and obli-
tion of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO M3z UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, C(JT W?
REMOVE THE THIRD [GROUND) PRONG FROM
7-HEPOWER CORD.
USAGE OF ADAPTER PLUG
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of anadapter plug. However, if you still elect to use
anadapter,where localcodes permit, aTEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be madeto aproperly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of aUL listed
adapter which is avail-
abieat most local hard-
warestores(Fig.2).The
largerslot inthe adapter
must be aligned with
the larger slat in the
wall receptacle to pro-
vide proper polarity in
the connection of the
powercord.

USE OF EXfENSiON CORDS–BecXwse of p@2n-
tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend tigainst the use of an exten-
sion cord. However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
alJL listed 3-wire grounding type a~pliance exten-
sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15 ampqres minimum. Such ex-
tensioncordsareobtaina&e through your localservice

vice cords that ihave become frayed or otherwisa
damaged. Do not use acord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
4. Never unplug your refrigerator by pu!l;ng cmthe
powercord.Alwaysgrip the phJgfirmly andpull straight
out from the receptacle.

Allow 4inches over top of refrigerator for
air circulation. Allow 5/8-inch clearance al
both sides for ease of installation.
Model CTF14E is equipped for ready in-
stallation of aEfotpoint automatic ice-
maker. When building anew home, con-
sider providing water supply to refrigerator
location. It will simplify connection of op-
tional automatic icemaker should you wish
to install one at alater date.
Your refrigerator should not be installed
where the temperature will go below 60°F.
because the refrigerator will not run fre-
quently enough to maintain proper temper-
atures.
Besure to install on afloor strong enough to
support afully loaded refrigerator.
Adjustable rollers, which enable you to
move your refrigerator away from the
wall for cleaning, or leveling legs of model
CTF14C, are located behind the grille.
These rollers, or leveling legs, should be
set so that the refrigerator is firmly posi-
tioned on the floor and the front is raised
just enough that the doors close easily when
opened about halfway.

TEMPERATURE GUIDE
If you turn your household thermos
down to 60° each evening, you may find
it desirable to turn your freezer ccmtrol
to colder setting by one letter, such as
from “C” to “D” and leave it at this set-
ting during the entire period that you are
setting the house ho 1d thermostat down
each evening. The fresh food setting will
not likely need to be changed; however,
it you experience freezing in fresh food
compartment, you could set the fresh food
control one number warmer— such as “5”
to “4’
If acontainer of milk is too warm or too
cold to your taste after being on the top
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for
aday, adjust the Cold Control Dials ac-
cordingly.
If agallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the Freezer for aday,
the Cold Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness is not to
your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.
Check aday after resettinz either dial to
make sure new setting

outside
The steel exterior is coated with ahigh
quality baked-on finish. However, without
proper care, degradation of this finish can
occur and permit rust spots to form on the
outside of the cabinet.
It is recommended that acoat of wax or
Jiquid polish be applied when the refrige-
rator is new and repeated several times
each year. The wax or polish, which should
be suitable for use on appliances, will close
the microscopic pores in the paint and
seal out contaminants which can cause
rust.
Between waxings, clean the exterior finish
with aclean, soft cloth dampened with a
mild household detergent. Rinse with a
clean, lightly dampened cloth and dry thor-
oughly.

Pan located behind grille should be cleaned
at least once ayear.

TIPS cm! FREEZINGFcxxm
There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing.
First, of course, is initial quality. Only top-
quality foods should be frozen. Freezing re-
tains quality and flavor; it cannot improve
quality.
Second is speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after picking, the bet-
ter the frozen product ‘willbe. You’ll save
time, too, because less culling and sorting
will be necessary.
The third requirement is proper packaging.
Use food wraps designed especially for
freezing; they’re readily available in awide
selection at your favorite store.
ADJUSTABLE SHELVES
(Shelvesi30t adh.tstakdf? Ofl C~F14C)
Most Hotpoint Top-Mount No-Frost refri
erators have adjustable shelves. This allow
you to vary the amount of space between
shelves and provides greater storage flexi-
bility. To adjust: remove shelf by tilting up
at front, then lifting up and out of the track
on the rear wall of the refrigerator as illus-
trated (Fig. 13).
—
IIll Tilt up
To replace: selectdesired shelf height. With
shelf front raised slightly, engage top lugs
in tracks at rear of cabinet. Then lower the
front of shelf until it locks into position

any Hotpoint refrigerators are equippet
than energy saver switch located near tht
top of the fresh food compartment (Fig. 8)
IFig. 8
The energy saver switch allows you to turn
on heaters to eliminate moisture which
may form on the exterior of the refriger-
ator under hot, humid conditions. This
switch should be left in the “Normal” posi-
tion to save energy except when moisture
does form. Remember to switch it back to
normal when the weather is no longerhumid.
ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
~Keep energy saver switch (on models so
e
equipped) on “Normal” unless moisture
forms on exterior of cabinet.
Don’t open doors more often than neces-
ary and close them as soon as possible,
particularly in hot, humid weather.
~Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
oWipe all moisture from bottles and car-
tons before putting them into the refriger-
ator, and keep all foods covered ‘to reduce
moisture build-up inside refrigerator.
@Don’t waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using afew,
~If you turn control to coldest position for
qr.iick chilling or freezing, don’t forget to
[urn it back to normal setting.
~Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator— over-
crowding can require extra electrical energy
to keep everything cool.
~Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently.
