FORPERSONAILSAFET’Y,THN APPLIANCE
MUST BE
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a three-prong (grounding) plug which
mateswith a standard three-prong (grounding)
wallreceptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possibilityof electric shock hazard from this appliince. The customer should have the wall
“eceptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
;Iectrician to make sure the receptacle is
]roperly grounded,
PREFERRED
Mmm

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

EX!STSBEFOREUSE
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the useof anadapter 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 aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
I
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw does
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw ismetal, 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 properiy 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 S!TUAT30NS WHERE APPLHN4CE’S
POWER CORD WILL
FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnecting of the power
cord places undue strain oil the adapter and
leads to eventual faiiure 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 shouid alwaysbe plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet (115volt.
60 hertz, single phase AC.)

After adjusting the temperature controls,
allow24hours for temperatures to stabilize.
Note: Turning the Fresh Food control to
“O” also turns off refrigeration in the Freezer compartment.
Guide To 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
J
accordingly.
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.
If you advance the Freezer compartment
Cold Control Dial to “E’ to freeze a quick
supply of ice cubes or a large amount of
food, be sure [o reset the dial to its previous setting within a day.
The kilowatt hours per month (Kwh/Mo.)
shown on the fact tag attached to the
inner door is a measure of the power consumed when tested in accordance with
AHAM Standard HRF-2ECFT.
The approximate monthly cost of opera-
tion can be calculated by multiplying the
Kwh/Mo. by the cost per kilowatt hour
from your local power company. Cost of
operation varies under actual usage
conditions.
POWER-SAV!NGTIPS
e 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.
QWipe all moisture from bottles and car-
toils before putting them into refrigera-
tor, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside.
o Don’t waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using a few.
Q If you turn control to coldest position for
quick chilling or freezing, don’t forget to
turn it back to normal setting.
~ Don’tovercrowd your refrigerator-over
crowding can require extra electrical energy to keep everything cool.

* Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently.
o Don’t locate your refrigerator adjacent
to your range, a heating vent or where sun=
shine will strike it if any other kitchen ar-
rangement is possible.
TIPSON FREEZING FOODS
There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing. First, of course, is
initial quality. Only top-quality foods
should be frozen, Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Second is speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after picking, the better
the frozen product willbe. You’ll save time,
too, because less culling and sorting will be
necessary. The third requirement is proper
packaging. Use food wraps designed espe
cially for freezing; they’re readily available
in a wide selection at your favorite store
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen) meats
seafoods to 14 pounds at a time.
TO FREEZE MEAT, FISH, R3ULTIW
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or othe]
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming i]
carefully to the shape of the contents. Thi:
expels air. Fold and-crimp ends of the package to provide a good, lasting seal. Don’t
refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
