Tips
*Location of your refrigerator is
in]port;mt. Avoid locating it next to
y(wr range, aheating vent or where
SLIIIwiIishine directly on it.
@Besure the doors are closed
tightly. Before leaving the house or
retiring for the night, check to be
sure doors haven’t been left ajar
inadvertent Iy.
~Store only those foods requiring
refrigeration in your refrigerator,
~Alluw hot foods to cool (until
warm to the touch) before placing
them in your refrigerator.
~Wipe all moisture from bottles
and cartons before putting them in
the refrigerator,
1
*Keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture buildup inside the
refrigerator.
*If you turn controls to coldest
position for quick chilling or freez-
ing, be sure to turn them back to
regular settings.
~Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator.
Overcrowding can require extra
electrical energy to keep every-
thing cool.

When disconnectingthepower

always
hold the adapter w“ithone h&d.
If this is not done, the adapter

We Of extensioncords
Because of potential safety haz-
ards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of
the cord be 15amperes minimum.
Such extension cords are obtain-
able through your local service
organization.
TIN?refrigeratorshould
alwaysbepluggedintoits
ownindividualelectrical
oMlet-
(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt, 50
Hertz, single phase AC.)
This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent over-
loading house wiring circuits,
which could cause apossible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
Buildinganewhome?
Consider providing water supply to
refrigerator location. It will simplify
connection of optional automatic
icemaker should you wish to
install one later.
FMers
Adjustablerollers,which enable
you to move your refrigerator away
from the wall for cleaning, are
located behind the base grille.
These rollers should be set so that
the refrigerator is firmly positioned
on the floor and the front is raised
just enough that the doors close
easily when opened about halfway.
Toadjustrollers
Removethe base grille by grasping
it at the bottom and pulling it
straight out.
RollerAdjustingScrew—turn
clockwise to raise, counter-
clockwise to lower. Use adjustable
wrench (s/8”hex head bolt) or pliers.
.
When adjusting front rollers for
proper door closure, it is recom-
mended that the bottom front edge
of the cabinet be approximately 51
inch from the floor.
To replace base grille, align prongs
on back of grilie with clamps in
cabinet and gently push forward
until grille snaps into place.
