Starting The Refrigerator - Kenmore 57278 Owner's Manual

Use of adapter plug
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against use of on
adapter pbg However, if you still elect to use an
adapter, where Iocal codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wal_ outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores
The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the
larger slot in the wall outlet to
provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord

CAUTION: Attaching an adapter ground terminal to the
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wal! outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You
should have circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet 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 the adapter ground terminal break,
DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established_
Use of Extension Cords
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 having a grounding type plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts
Electrical Requirements
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the
best performance and also prevents overloading house
wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from
overheating wires.
Starting the Refrigerator
Location
,, Install the refrigerator on a floor strong enough to
support it when it is fully loaded.
o Do not install it where the temperature will go
below 60°F because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures
o Do not install it next to your range, o heating vent
or where the sun will shine directly on it
Clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides ...... 5/8" Top ...............t" Back ................. 1"
Allow 3/4" for door clearance at each side.
Rollers
Adjustable rollers behind the base grille enable
you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning These roIlers should be set so the refrigerator
rests firmly on the floor. To assure that the doors will
close automatically from a halk, vay-open position,
there is a built-in tilt from the front to the back of the
cabinet Side-by-side refrigerators also have specially
designed door hinges that lift both doors slightly
when opened, allowing the force of gravity to help
close them securely
To adjust the rollers:
o Remove the base grille.
Grasp it at the botlom and
pull it out
• Turn the roller adjusting
the refrigerator, counter-
clockwise to lower it Use
an adjustable wrench or
pliers on the 3/8" bolts.
•Both doors should close
properly when boffom
front edge of refrigerator
cabinet is about 5/8"
from the floor
° To replace the
base grille, line up
the prongs on the grille
with the clamps on the
refrigerator and push
forward until the grille
snaps into place
