Tips

* Location of your refrigerator is

in]port;mt. Avoid locating it next to

y(wr range, a heating vent or where

SLIIIwiIi shine 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 freez­ing, be sure to turn them back to
regular settings.

~ Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator.

Overcrowding can require extra
electrical energy to keep every­thing cool.

properlygrounded.

The power cord of this appliance

is equipped with a three-prong

(grounding)plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall receptacle (Fig. 1)to minimize
the possibility of

electric shock
hazard from this
appliance.

Fig. 1

Havethe wall receptacle and
circuit 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.

Because of potential safety haz­ards 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 obtain­able through your local service
organization.

oMlet-

(115volt, 60 Hertz, or 100volt, 50
Hertz, single phase AC.)

This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent over­loading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.

Buildinga newhome?

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, counter­clockwise 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.

How todo away with

repairbilk.

Yournew refrigerator is a well
designed and engineered product.

Before it left the factory, it went
through rigorous tests, just to
make sure it was as defect-free as

possible. And you havea warranty
to protect you against any manu­facturing defects during the early

period of your refrigerator’s life.

Now you can have the same
trouble-free and surprise-free
service for as long as you own

your refrigerator. You can buy a
General Electric Service Contract.

For one low fee...usually just pen­nies a day...Genera! Electric will
take care of any repairs your
refrigerator needs—both parts and

labor. You are protected for the
length of your contract. Evenwhen

costs go up, you pay nothing more,

Want more information? There’s
no obligation. Youcan get infor­mation on Service Contracts any

time. Just write your name and
address, date of installation, and
the modei and serial number of
your appliance and send to:
