(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates witha standard three-prong (grounding) wail receptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possi-

bility of electric shock hazard from this appliance. The customer should have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properiy grounded.

-AND FiRMCONNECTION

BEFOREUSE

Becauseof potentiai safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongiy recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores (Fig.5). The larger slot in the adapter must be alignedwith the larger slot in the wallreceptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION:Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wallreceptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal. and not insulated. and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked bya qualified 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 repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance unti1a proper ground has again been established.

USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S POWER CORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY

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 faiiure of the adapter ground

terminal. The customer should have the two-

prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-

prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified

electrician before using the appliance.

The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into

its own individual electrical outlet (115volt,

60 hertz, single phase AC.)

TEMPERATURE ~NTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the Fresh Food and Freezer compartments (Fig. 6).

~ilOWS

After adjusting the temperature controls, allow 24hours for temperatures to stabilize.

Note: Turning the numbered control to “OFF” turns off refrigeration in both the

Fresh Food and Freezer compartments.

GuideTo ProperTemperatures:

If a container of milk is too warm or too cold to your taste after being on the top

shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for

a day, adjust the Cold Control Dials ac-

cordingly.

If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the touch after being in the Freezer for a day, 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 a day after resetting either dial to make sure new setting is providing the temperature you desire.

To freeze a quick supply of ice cubes or a largeamount of food, advance the lettered

Cold Control Dial to “E: but be sure to reset the dial to its previous setting within a day.

This moisture can be expected only when the weather is humid and if your kitchen is not air conditioned. The switch should be

left on the “normal” position to save power except when moisture does form. Remember to switch it back to normal when the weather is no longer humid.

POWER-SAVINGTIPS

~ Don’t open doors more often than necessary and close them as soon as possible, particularly in hot, humid weather.

~ Store only foods requiring refrigeration in your refrigerator.

~ Wipe :111moisture from bottles and cartons before i>trtting them into the refrigerator, and keep all foods covered to reduce

moisture build-up inside. ~ Don-t waste ice cubes by letting many

melt while using a few.

~ If you turn control to coldest position for quick chil]ing or freez~ng. don’t forget to turn it t)ack to normal setting,

Don’t overcrowd vour refrigerator-over-

~ crowding can require extra electrical ener-
