Yourrefrigerator shouldnot be installed where
the temperature will go below 60°F. because
the refrigerator willnot run frequently enough
to maintain proper temperatures.

are located behind the grille. Set these screws
so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the

FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCE
MUSTBEPROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with athree-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with astandard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appli-
ance. The customer should have the wall
receptacle and circuit checked by aqualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is
properly grounded.

ADAPTER PLUGSNOT
PERMITTEDINCANADA)
III
lecause of potential safety hazards under cer-
ain conditions, we strongly recommend
,gainstthe useof an adapter plug. However,if
~oustill elect to use an adapter, where local
:odes permit, aTEMPORARY Connec-
tion may be made to aproperly grounded
we-prongwall receptacle by the use of aLJL
isted adapter which is available at most local
lardware stores (Fig.5). The larger slot in the
idapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
.hewall receptacle to provide proper polarity
nthe connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minalto the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screwismetal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked byaqualified 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 repeatec
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE tht
appliance until aproper ground has agair
been established.
USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S
PCMEF?CORD WILL BE DISCONN=T~D
w4EQUHWTLY
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 athree-
prong (grounding) receptacle by aqualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet (115volt.
60 hertz, single phase AC.)

Guide To Proper,Temperatures:
If acontainer of milk is too warmor too
cold to your taste after being on the top
shelf,in the Fresh Food compartment for
aday, adjust the Cold Control Dials
accordingly. ‘,
If agallonoficecream remainsfirmto the
touch after beingin the Freezer for aday,
the Cold Control Dialsare at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’sfirmnessis not

If you advance the Freezer compartment

vioussetting withinaday.
POWERCONSUMPTION

AHAMStandard HRF-2ECFTwith power

POWER-SAVINGTIPS
.Don’topendoors moreoften than neces-
sary and close them as soon as possible,
particularly in hot, humidweather.
*Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
●Wipe all moisture from bottles and car-
tons before putting them into refl”igera-
tor, and keep all foodscovered to reduce
moisture build-upinside.
eDon’t waste ice cubes by let[ing many
melt while using afew.
~Ifyou iurn control to coldest position for
c~uickchijlillg or fr~ezing.don’t forget to
turn it back to normal setting.
*Don’t overcrwwcl your refrigerator-over-
crowdingcan require extra electrical ener-
gy to keep everything cool.
●Beforeleavingthe houseor retirin$ for
the night,cheek fo be sure doors ha~.e
been left ajar inadvertently.
oDon’tlocate your refrigerator adjacent
toyourrange,aheatingventor wheresun-
shinewillstrike it if any other kitchen ar-

still ice crystals in the package, they may
safely be refrozen ...Refrozen food should
be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have
warmed gradually over aperiod of several
days to atemperature of 40°F., they are
not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under
these conditions, meats, poukry, mostveg-
etables and some prepared foods may be-
come unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit
products soon develop an undesirable
flavor.” (

The srrgg.%lionsnoted beIow apply to the
operation of your household electric re-
frigerator. The General Efectric Company
recommends these safety precautions:
1. Ifyour old refrigerator is stillaround the
house but not inuse, be sure to remove the
doors. This will reduce the possibility of
danger to children.
2. Some refrigerators are equipped witb
automatic icemakers. Do not place fingers
or hands on the automatic icemaking
mechanism while the refrigerator is
plugged in. This willprevent contact with
themovingparts ofthe ejector mechanism,
or with the heating element that releases
the cubes.
3. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet (115volt, 60cycle,single phase AC).
Thisisrecommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house wiring
circuits, which could cause apossible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–Because
of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions,we stronglyrecommend against
the use of an extension cord. However, if
you still elect to use an extension cord, it
isabsolutely necessary that itbe aULlisted
3-wiregrounding type appliance extension
cord and that the current carrying rating
of the cord in amperes be equal to orgreat-
er than the branch circuit size shown on
the rating nameplate of this appliance.
Such extension cords are obtainable
through your local service organization.
4. Repair or replace immediately all elec-
tricservice cords that have become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use acord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
alongitslengthor at either the plugor con-
nector end,
5. Never unplug your refrigerator by pull-
ingon the wire.AIwaysgrip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with roll-
ers so that it can be easilymoved out from
the wafl. When rolling out the refrigerator
be careful not to roll over the service cord.
