Follow these easq steps
for proper installation
Install refrigerator-freezer in a conve-
nient location away from extreme heat
and cold. Allow clearances between
refrigerator-freezer and side wall so
doors will open a minimum of 90% The
floor should be firm, level, and capable
of supporting the loaded cabinet's
weight,
Plug refrigerator-freezer into a 3-wire
grounded appliance branch circuit.
Refrigerator-freezer is equipped with
a 3-prong plug and for safety must
be plugged into a properly grounded
outlet.
If the proper outlet is not available, do
not remove the third prong on the plug.
Have a qualified electrician replace the
outlet. He is aware of national and local
electrical codes, and will properly wire
the outlet for you. Do not use an exten-
sion cord.
Roll refrigerator-freezer into place. Do
not roll over power cord. Unplug elec-
trical cord before moving refrigerator-
freezer completely from wall.
Level refrigerator-freezer so it rests
solidly on the floor without rocking.
Use a large, flat-blade screwdriver to
adjust the rollers at front corners. Ad-
justing screws are located behind the
base grille. (See instructions for remov-
ing grille on page 5.) Turn to the right
to raise the corner, to the left to lower
it. Height of refrigerator-freezer from
floor will adjust from 0 inch to _ inch.
If the ice maker is installed, adjust rol-
lers so that aft four corners are level
with each other.
If the ice maker is not installed, you
may adjust rollers in either of two ways:
• If you want the door to fresh food
compartment to close when not held
open, adjust rollers so that front of
refrigerator-freezer is raised slightly.
However, front corners must be level
with each other; and rear corners
with each other.
• If you want the door to fresh food
compartment to remain motionless
when open, adjust the rollers so that
all four corners are level with each
other.
Turn front adjusting screws one full turn
to the right; lower leveling glides snug
against the floor, using your hand or an
open-end wrench; then turn front ad-
justing screws one full turn to the left.
Make sure all packing material is re-
moved, including the tape on the drain
pan behind the base grille.
If the shipping tape has left a residue
on the doors, touch the residue lightly
with the adhesive side of tape or with
isopropy! alcohol (most rubbing alco-
hol is this type). Do not use a solvent,
such as lighter or cleaning fluid, nor an
abrasive cleaner.
Clean refrigerator-freezer and parts to
remove dust from shipping and pack-
ing. (See How to clean your new refrig-
erator-freezer on page 6.)
How to start ¥our new refrigerator-freezer,
and how to adjust it to qour requirement
The cold controls are located inside
the fresh food compartment at the top.
They control the temperature of the
fresh food and freezer compartments.
To set controls: Set Refrigerator Con-
trol at #5. A convenient dial under-
neath the Refrigerator Control (see
arrow) makes it easy to set this control.
Also, set Freezer Control at #5 setting.
You may hear a slight chattering sound
when you first start the refrigerator-
freezer. This sound will disappear as
the appliance cools down.
To change temperatures: Good indica-
tions of proper settings are the cold-
ness of milk which has remained in the
fresh food compartment overnight and
the firmness of ice cream in the freezer
compartment. Many factors influence
the internal temperature of the fresh
food and freezer compartments:
• The temperature and humidity of the
home.
• The frequency of door openings and
the amount of warm food placed in
the refrigerator-freezer.
• The combination of foods and con-
tainers •stored in refrigerator-freezer.
For these reasons, you may want to ad-
just either or both controls to suit the
season and your needs. When adjust-
ing the temperature:
• Turn control to a higher number for
colder temperatures.
• Turn control to a lower number for
warmer temperatures.
• Allow approximately 12 hours or
overnight for temperatures to stabi-
lize. Then check to see if further ad-
justments are necessary.
Note: Changing either control will have
some effect on the temperature of the
other compartment.
To turn off refrigerator-freezer: Turn
Refrigerator Control to OFF and dis-
connect electrical cord. Remove ice
trays and food. Leave doors ajar for
air circulation.
How much food can
be loaded at once?
Your" new Frigidaire Refrigerator-
Freezer needs time to cool down
after you first start it; but you may
immediately load it with foods
that are already refrigerated or
frozen.
After storage temperatures have
stabilized, limit the amount of
warm foods you load at any one
time. Warm foods placed in the
fresh food compartment and un-
frozen foods placed in the freezer
compartment affect the storage
temperatures; it takes time for
these temperatures to stabilize
again. Too large a load can keep
temperatures warm enough, long
enough for foods to spoil.
