use of adapterplug
Becauseof potential safetyhazards
undercertain conditions,westrongly
recommendagainstuseofanadapter
plug.However,ifyoustill elect to use
anadapter,where localcodespermit,
aTEMPORARYCONNECTION may
bemadetoaproperly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by useof
aULlisted adapter(Fig. 2)available
at most local hardwarestores.
TEMPORARYMETHOD
The Iargerslot inthe adaptermust be
aligned with the /argerslot inthe wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity
inthe connection of the power cord.
CAUTlON: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
receptacle is grounded through
house wiring. Customer should
havethe circuit checked by aqual-
ified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is pr~perly 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 hJOTUSE the
appliance until aproperground
hasagain been established.
Useofextension cords
Becauseof potential safety hazards
undercertain conditions, westrongiy
recommend againstthe use of an
extension cord. However, if you
still elect to usean extension cord,
it is absolutely necessarythat it be
aUL listed 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug andreceptacle
andthat the electrical rating of the
cord be 15amperes (minimum) and
120volts. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
The refrigeratorshouldalways
be pluggedintoitsown
individualelectricaloutlet—
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt,
50 Hertz, single phaseAC).
This is recommended for best
performance andto prevent over-
loading housewiring circuits,
which could causeapossible fire
hazardfrom overheating wires.

With the heatersturned off, there
isachancethat moisture mayform
on the outside of your refrigerator,
especiallywhen the weather is
humid.The humidity is most likely
to be high in the summer,in the
early morning hours,and in homes
which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture that forms onthe outside
maycausedeterioration of the paint
finish. Itwill be important to protect
the finish by usingappliance polish
waxasdescribed on page 8.
Whenthe EnergySaverSwitchis
pushedtotheright,electricity flows
through the low wattage heaters
which warm the outside of the cab-
inet and, under mostconditions,
prevent the forming of moisture
or water droplets.
Ifycwturnyourhousehold

When you stop turning the thermo-
stat down, turn the temperature

Waterflows into a pan behind the
grille where it isevaporated.
Note:if ice forms on the cooling
coil, adjust temperature control to a
lower setting. Be sure bottles or
other tall objects are not touching
the cooling coil. This maycause ice
to form and drip into fresh food
compartment during defrosting. If
no bottles or other objects are in
contact with the coil but water con-
tinues to drip from the coil onto the
food, turn temperature control dial
to OFF and rinse coil with aclean
cloth or sponge and asolution of
electric dishwasher detergent. IJse

3. Sponge up defrost water as it

4. In addition to the visible frost in
the freezer compartment, frost also
forms on the hidden side of the
freezer compartment surfaces.This
frost will melt during defrosting and
the defrost water will drain through
the opening in the top of the fresh
food compartment. Tocatch this
water, place aone-pint to one-quart
container in the center of the top
shelf under the opening.
5. After defrosting is completed,
turn temperature control to desired

LMrOzen Meats,Fishand
Poultry
fvfeats,fish and-poultry purchased
from the store vary in quality and
age;consequently, safe storage
time in yotir refrigerator will vary.
~Always remove store wrappings.
@Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper
and refrigerate immediately.
C4H3se
Cheeseshould be wrapped well
with wax paper or aluminum foil, or
put in aplastic bag.
*Carefully wrap to expel air and
help prevent mold.
~Store pre-packaged cheese in its
own wrapping if you wish.
V’egetabk?s
Vegetable drawers have been
specially designed to preserve
natural moisture and freshness
of produce.
*Crispnesscan be maintained by
covering vegetables with amoist
towel.
~As afutiher aid to freshness,
pre-packaged vegetables can be
stored in their original wrapping.
Ice cream
Fine-quality ice cream, with high
cream content, will normally require
slightly lower temperatures than
more “airy” already-packaged
brands with low cream content.
@It wijl be necessaryto experiment
to determine the location in the
freezer compartment and the tem-
perature control setting to keep
your favorite ice cream atthe right
serving temperature.
~Also, the rear and the floor of the
freezer compartment are slightly
colder than the front and off-the-
floor areas
Tips on frwmzingfoals
There are three essential require-
ments for efficient home freezing,
1. Initialquality.Freezeonly
topquality foods, Freezing retains
quality and fiavor; it cannot improve
quality
2. Speed.The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozenafterpicking,
the better the frozen product will
be. You’ll savetime, too, because
less culling and sorting will be
necessary.
3. IProperpackaging.Usefood
wraps designed especially for
freezing; they’re readily available
in awide selection at your favorite
store.
Tofreeze meat,fishand
poultry
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or
other heavy-dutywrapping material)
forming it carefully to the shape of
the contents. This expels air. Fold
and crimp ends of the packageto
provide agood, lasting seal.
Don’t refreeze meat that hascom-
pletely thawed; meat, whether raw
or cooked, can be frozen success-
fully only once.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen)
meats or seafoods to number of
pounds at atime asfollows:
TB12. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8pounds
