3. FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, TH!S APFiJANCE
MUST BE PROPERLYGF!CWNDED.
The Dower cord of this appliance is equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall re-
ceptacle (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibil-
ity of electric shock
hazard from this appli-
ance. Have the wail
receptacle checked by
a qualified electrician
to make
sure the re-
ceptacle is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-
countered, it is the personai responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.
Do ?do~ UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT OR
REMOVE THE 7-HIRD(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 still elect to use
anadapter,where localcodes permit, aTEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be madeto aproperly grounded
two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed
ableat most local hard-
warestores (Fig.2).ThQ
kvgersiot inthe adapter
must be aligned with
the larger slot in the
wall receptacle to pro-
vide proper polarity in
the connection of the
power cord.

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

Whendisconnecting the power cord from the adap-
ter, always hold the adapter with one hand, If this
is not done, the’ adapter ground terminal is very
iikely’to break with repeated use. Should this hap-
pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been established.
2. THE REFRIGERATOR ~HCNHJ3 ALWAYS BE
PLUGGED INTO H-s OWN lND!VIDUAL Electri-
cal OUTLET (115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase AC).
This is recmnmendqd for best performance and to
prevent overloading house wiring dircuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard from overheat-
ing wires.
USE OF EXTENS!QN CX2RDS-Because of poten-
tial safety hazards under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the use of an exten-
sion 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 exten-
sion cord and that the current carrying rating of the
cord in amperes be 15 amperes minimum. Such ex-
tensioncordsareobtainablethroughyour localservice
organization.

should you wishto install one at a later date.
Your refrigerator should not be installed
where the.temperature willgo below 60°F.
because the refrigerator will not run fre-
quently enough to maintain proper tem-

Be sure to install on a floor strong enough
to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
Adjustable rollers, which enabJe you to
move your refrigerator away from the wall
for cleaning, or leveling legs of models
CTF18A and CTF16C, are located behind
the grille. These rollers, or leveling legs,
sflould 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.
To adjust NIUers/h?velinglegs
Remove the grille by grasping at bottom
and pulling up and out. (See Fig. 3).

‘TIPSONFREEZINGFOODS
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. Sec-
ond is speed. The quicker fruits and veg-
etables are frozen after picking, the better
the frozen product will be. You’ll save time,
two,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.
-in FmEEz’EMEAT-,FISH,POULTRY
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
cat-efully to the shape of the contents. This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the pack-
~lgeto
provide a good, !asting seal. Don’t
refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
il)~~it,whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.
Limit
fkwifig d hesh (tanhw!en) ‘meats oil’

KX CREAM STORAGE
Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream
content, will normally require slightly low-
er temperatures than more “airy” already-
packed brands with low cream content. It
will be necessary to experiment to deter-
mine the exact temperature control setting
to keep your favorite ice cream at the right
serving temperature. Also, the rear of the
freezer is slightly colder than the front.
ADJUSTABLESHELVES
[Shelves not adjustable on models
CTF18A and CTF16C)
Most Hotpoint No-Frost Refrigerators fea-
ture adjustable shelves. This allows you to
vary the amount of space between shelves
and provides greater storage flexibility.
To adjust, remove shelf by tilting up at
front, then lifting up and out of the track
on the rear wall of the refrigerator a
illustrated in Fig. 10.

Cheese should be well wrapped with wax

WxJemks
Vegetable drawers (on all models except
CTF18A) have bee? specially designed to
preserve natural moisture and freshness.
Crispness can be maintained by covering
vegetables with a moist towel. As a further
aid to freshness, it is suggested that pre-
packaged vegetables be stored in their orig-
inal wrapping.

CLEAN!NG
Inside – Clean both refrigerator and freez-
er sections at least once a year. It is rec-
ommended that the refrigerator be un-
plugged before cleaning. If this is not prac-
tical, wring excess moisture out of sponge
or cloth when cleaning in the. vicinity of
switches, lights or controls.
Use warm water and baking soda solution
—about a tablespoon of baking soda to a
quart of water, Rinse thoroughlywith water
and wipe dry. Follow this same procedure
for cleaning door gaskets, vegetable and
meat pans and all plastic parts, Wash ice
trays and ice storage bucket in lukewarm
water only.
Do not wash any plastic parts from your
refrigerator in your automatic dishwasher.
Outside–The steel exterior is coated with
a high quality baked-on finish, However,
without proper care, degradation of this
finish can occur and permit rust spots to
form on the outside of the cabinet.
It is recommended that ~ coat of wax or
liquid polish be applied when the refrig-
erator is new and repeated several times
each year. The wax or polish, which should
be suitable for use on appliances, will close
the microscopic pores in the paint and
seal out contaminants which can cause
rust.
Between waxings, clean the exterior finish
with a clean, soft cloth dampened with a
mild household detergent. Rinse with a
clean, lightly dampened cloth and dry thor-
oughly.
Behind
Refrigerator– When moving re-
frigerator away from the wall always pull
cabinet straight out and return to position
by pushing straight in. Moving your refrig-
erator in a side direction may result in
damage to your floor covering or refriger-
ator.
Defrost Water Em- Pan located behind
grille should be cleaned at least once a year.
@Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check
to be sure doors haven’t
been left ajar inadvertently.
s Don’t locate your refrigerator adjacent
