1. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, -nils APPLIANCE
Mum- BE

PROPERLYGROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with

a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard three-prong (grounding) wail re­ceptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil-

ity of electric shock

hazard from this appli­ance. Have the wall
receptacle checked by
a qualified electrician

to make sure the re­ceptacle is properly
grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en­countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli­gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do IVOR UNDER ANY circumstances, cur OR
REMOVE THE?THIRD [GROUND] PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD*

USAGE OF ADAPTER PLUG

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug. However, if you stiii eiect to use

anadapter,where iocaicodes permit, aTEiViFQRARY
CONN ECTiON may be made to a properiy grounded
two-prong waii receptacle by the use of a (JL iisted
adapter which is avaii­abie at most iocai hard­warestores (Fig.2).The

must be aligned with

the larger slot in the

vide proper polarity in
the connection of the
power cord.

USE OF EXTENSION CCIRDS–Because of poten­tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongiy recommend against the use of an exten-

sion cord. However, if you stiii elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessm+ that ii be
a LJLlisted 3-wire grounding type appiiance exten­sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15amperes minimum. Such ex-

ease of installation. When building a new

home, consider providing water supply to
refrigerator location. It will simplify con­nection of optional automatic icernaker

should you wish to install one at a later date.
Your refrigerator should not be insta!led

where the temperature will go below 60°F.
because the refrigerator will not run fre­quently enough to maintain proper tem-

peratures.
Be sure to install on a floor strong enough

m support a fully loaded refrigerator.
Adjustable rollers, which enable you to

move your refrigerator away from the wall
for cleaning, or leveling legs of models
CTF18A and CTF~6C, are located behind
the grille. These rollers, or leveling legs,
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.

TEMPERATURECONTROLS

Your refrigerator has two controls that let
you regulate the temperature in the Fresh
Food and Freezer compartments (Fig. 7).

TEMPERATURE GUIDE

If you turn your household thermost

down to 60° each evening, you may fi
it desirable to turn your lettered control

to colder setting by one letter, such as

from “C” to “D” and leave it at this set­ing during the entire period that you are

setting the household thermostat down

each evening. The numbered setting will
not likely need to be changed; however,
if you experience freezing in fresh food
compartment, you could set the numbered
control one number warmer— such as “5”
to “4:’

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 I?reezer for a day,

the Coid Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness ismot 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.

If you advance the lettered Cold Control
Dial to “E” to freeze a

quicksupply of i

cubes or a large amount of food, be s
