Energy Saving Tips
5
The refrigerator is designed for free-
standing installation only. It should
not be built-in. Allow a minimum of 2
inches on each side and above the
top of the refrigerator to ease installa-
tion and proper air circulation. Be
sure to install your refrigerator on a
floor that is strong enough to support
the unit when fully loaded.
If the refrigerator is not leveled,
adjust the front leveling legs by turn-
ingclockwise to raise the refrigerator
and counterclockwise to lower it.
Do not install your refrigerator where
the temperature will fall below 55°F,
as it will not run frequently enough to
maintain proper temperature.
Refrigerator Installation
Important-for personal safety, this
appliance must be properly
grounded.
In the event of an electrical short cir-
cuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. Consult a
qualified electrician or service center if
the grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood. If doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded, have a qualified electrician
check the circuit to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Do not, under any circumstances,
cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Avoid the use of an extension cords
due to potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, use only a 3-
wire extension cord that has a 3–blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot outlet that
will accept the plug. The marked rating
of the extension cord must be equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
