Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use ofan adapter plug. However, if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY C(?NNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL
listed adapter whichis available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 5).The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned withthe larger slot in
the wallreceptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
I
minal 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 shouid 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 until a proper ground has again
been established.
USAGE SITLJATIONSWHERE APPLIANCE’S
PC?WERCORD WILL BE DISCONNECTED
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plugin 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 twoprong wall receptacle replaced with a threeprong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
The refrigerator should alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet (115volt.

If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the

H your refrigerator appears to have stopped operating (except during the defrost
cycie when the motor and fan are normally
shut off completely for the length of the
ycle), make these simple tests before call-
1. Check temperature control dial. It may
be turned to the OFF position.
2. If interior light is not on, check to see if
refrigerator isplugged inat wall receptacle,
3. If plug is secure and the refrigerator still
fails to operate, plug another appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is
a burned-out fuse.

should be protected or secured with tape.
This prevents their coming loose arid causingdamage. Your refrigerator ison wheels;

L If your old refrigerator isstill around the
house but not in use, be sure to remove the
doors. This will reduce the possibility of
danger to children.
2. Some refrigerators are equipped with
automatic icemakers. Do not place fingers
or hands on the automaticicemaking
mechanismwhile the refrigeratoris
plugged in. This will prevent contact with
the movingparts of the ejector mechanism,
or with the heating element that releases
the cubes.
3: The refrigeratorshould always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet (115volt, 60 cycle, single phase AC),
This isrecommended for best performance
and to prevent overloading house wiring
~ircuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
JSE OF EXTENS1ON CORDS –Because
~fpotential safety hazards under certain
;onditions, we strongly recommend against
he use of an extension cord. However, if
~oustill elect to use an extension cord, it
sabsolutely necessary that it be a UL listed
~-wiregrounding type appliance extension
:ord and that the current carrying rating
~fthe cord in amperes be equal to or great-
r than the branch circuit size shown on

or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord

5. Never unpiug your refrigerator by pullingon the wire. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
6. Your refrigerator is equipped with rollers so that it can be easily moved out from
the wall. When rolling out the refrigerator
be careful not to roll over the service cord,
7. Do not operate your refrigerator in the
presence of explosive fumes.
8. A burned-out light bulb might break
when being replaced, In order to avoid
contact with a live wire filament, it is recommended that the refrigerator first be unplugged when replacing a light bulb.
Note: Turning control to OF?? position
does not remove power to the light circuit.
9. Always remove the power cord from
wall outlet before removing the base grille.
10. Don’t refreeiie frozen foods which have
thawed completely unless you cook them
after they have thawed. The ?.-h-titedStates
Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says, “... if foods
have thawed only partially and there are
still ice crystals in the package, they may
safely be refrozen .. .
be used as soon as possible.
“If foods have slowly thawed and have
warmed gradually over a period of several
days to a temperature of 40°F., they are
not likely to be fit for refreezing. Under
these conditions, meats, poultry, most vegetables and some prepared foods may become unsafe to eat; most fruits and fruit
products soon develop an undesirable
flavor.”

Cheese should be well wrapped with wax

vegetables
Fruit and vegetable crispers have been specially designed to preserve natural mois-

towel. As a further aid to freshness, it is
suggested that pre-packaged vegetables be
stored in their original wrapping.
CLEANING
inside
Clean both refrigerator and freezer sec-
tions at least once a year. It is recommend-
ed that the refrigeratorbe unplugged
before cleaning. If this is not practical,
wring excess moisture out of sponge or
cloth when cleaning in the vicinity of
switches, lights, or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution
—about a tablespoon of baking soda to a
quart of water, Rinse thoroughly with water
and wipe dry. Follow this same procedure
for cleaning door gaskets, vegetable and
meat pans and all plastic parts.
When moving refrigerator, always pull cab
