BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill

or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard

signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen

if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal

injury when using your product, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

•NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull it

straight out from the outlet.

Immediately repair or replace all power cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

• Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It

could cause electric shock or fire.

When moving your refrigerator away from the wall, be

careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

The insulation in this unit contains cyclopentane or a

pentane-like gas which is flammable and requires a

special elimination process. Before discontinuing use of

this refrigerator, contact local authorities to arrange for

safe disposal of the unit.

• DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

• DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol

cans containing flammable propellants in this

appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the

refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They

could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themselves.

• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small.

Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making

any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be

performed by a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

5

•Before service is performed on the interior LED lighting,

unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit

breaker or fuse box.

NOTE: The refrigerator and freezer compartment

lights are LED interior lighting, and service should be

performed by a qualified technician.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF

position does not remove power to the light circuit.

When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to

the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat,

Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending

on the model) to the desired setting.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in

accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that

were taped to the front of the refrigerator.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the

cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands

are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold

surfaces.

DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism

while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed

completely. The United States Department of

Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold--below 4°C.

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any

off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should

not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.

If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable,

dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the

eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables

and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats

is affected less than that of many other foods. Use

refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of

their quality as you can.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects

or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even

if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and

suffocation).

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER:

• Take off the doors.

Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

6

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or

hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the

atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to

the environment if released to the atmosphere.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal

by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release

refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment

under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded.

3-prong

grounding type I

wall receptacle -__

3-prong _

grounding t"T"'_ I

VF

Ensure proper

#_ ground exists

/// before use.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115

Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 amperes (minimum).

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a

separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off with a switch

or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.

Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have

it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall

outlet.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING: Do not use extension cords or ungrounded

(two-prong) adaptors. Because of potential safety

hazards under certain conditions, the use of an extension

cord is not recommended. However, if you still elect to

use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it

be aUL-listed (USA), 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.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy

articles on it.

• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the

cord hanging down.

• When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll

over or damage the power cord.

• If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced

immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

• Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.

• Do not insert your hands into the area under the

bottom of the appliance.

• Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or

damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

Replacing Electrical Cord

To avoid hazard, damaged power cords must be

replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or

a similarly qualified technician. Do not operate the

appliance with a damaged power cord.

legs are complete.

CAUTION: Do not overtighten the door adjustment screw.

The hinge pin can be pulled out. (The adjustable range of

height is a maximum of 1/2" (1.27 cm).)

SETTING THE CONTROLS

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the

entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The

colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to

keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts

the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator.

Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps

more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it

colder.

CONTROL PANEL FEATURES

AIRFLOW

Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food

section and back again through air vents in the wall

dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while

packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict airflow

and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become

too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air flow

diagram below.)

iMPORTANT;

Because air circulates between both sections, any odors

formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must

thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.

To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or

cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section

for details.)

NOTE: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the

freezer door open and close again due to pressure from

internal air flow.

PRIOR TO USE

1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe off dust

accumulated during shipping.

2. install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed

together to prevent possible damage during shipment.

3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours

before putting food in it. Check the flow of cold air

in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.

Your refrigerator is now ready for use.

Temperalure

The Refrigerator Temp Control ranges from 30°F to

46°F (]°C to 8°C). Press the Refrigerator Temp button

to cycle through the available temperature settings one

increment at a time. The recommended temperature for

the refrigerator compartment is 37°F (3°C).

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the

dispenser. The icemaker will produce 6cubes per cycle -

approximately 110 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending

on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,

number of door openings and other operating conditions.

Personal Injury Hazard

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice

making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

It takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed

refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full

ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When

full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6to 8 (12-

16 oz) glasses of ice.

To turn off: the automatic icemaker, set the icemaker

switch to OFF (O). To turn on the automatic icemaker,

set the switch to ON (I).

The water pressure must be between 20 and

120 psi (138 to 827 kPa) on models without a water

filter and between 40 and 120 psi (276 to 827 kPa)

on models with a water filter to produce the normal

amount and size of ice cubes.

The ice cube size selector button is used to compensate

for high or low water pressure. If you have low water

pressure coming to your refrigerator, you may need

to select the highest setting. For high water pressure,

select a lower setting.

•When the water supply will be shut off: for several

hours.

• When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two

minutes.

• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the

icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O)

position.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker power switch to OFF (O) and shut off:

the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied anytime the

icemaker ON/OFF switch is turned to the OFF (O)

position.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have

a qualified technician drain the water supply system to

prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused

by ruptured water lines or connections.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

The icemaker water valve will buzz as the icemaker fills

with water. If the power switch is in the ON (I) position,

it will buzz even if it has not yet been hooked up to

water. To stop the buzzing, move the power switch to

OFF (O).

NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the ON (I) position

before the water line is connected can damage the

icemaker.

You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin

and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

17

AUTOMATIC ICEMAI(ER (continued)

_LCAUTION

•The first ice and water dispensed may include particles

or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice (about 24

cubes). This is also necessary if the refrigerator has not

been used for a long time.

• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice

bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may

damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter

and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a

Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the

ice or water until the problem is corrected.

• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may

play with or damage the controls.

The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only

crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates

by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with

a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help

prevent frost buildup.

• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.

Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass

fragments in the ice.

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water

or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is

dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or

deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator

performance may be affected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.

A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice

from dispensing.

To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice

door and passage.

Never remove the dispenser cover.

If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the

water supply and contact Sears Home Service at

1-800-4-MY HOME*.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and

moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This

prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to

ensure freshness.

Items How to

Butter or

margarine

Keep opened butter in a covered

dish or closed compartment.

When storing an extra supply,

wrap in freezer packaging and

freeze.

Cheese I_ Store in the original wrapping

until you are ready to use it. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic

wrap or aluminum foil.

Milk I_ Wipe milk cartons. For best

storage, place milk on interior

shelf, not in the door bin.

Eggs I_ Store in original carton on interior

shelf, not in door bin.

Fruit I_ Wash, let dry, and store in

refrigerator in plastic bags or in

the crisper. Do not wash or hull

fruit until you are ready to use

them. Sort and keep fruit in its

original container, in a crisper, or

store in a completely closed paper

bag on a refrigerator shelf.

Leafy

vegetables

Remove store wrapping and trim

or tear off bruised and discolored

areas. Wash in cold water and

drain. Place in plastic bag or

plastic container and store in

crisper.

Vegetables

with skins

(carrots,

peppers)

Place in plastic bags or plastic

container and store in crisper.

Fish

Leftovers

I_ Use fresh fish and shellfish the

same day purchased.

I_ Cover leftovers with plastic wrap,

aluminum foil, or plastic containers

with tight lids.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of

food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer

than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3

Ibs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave

enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around

packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the

front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and

type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used

(how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage

temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are

normal. This simply means that moisture in the food

and air inside the package have condensed, creating

ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot

foods before freezing saves energy.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.

When you close and seal the package, it must not

allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could

have food odor and taste transfer throughout the

refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

•Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

• Heavy-duty aluminum foil

• Plastic-coated paper

• Non-permeable plastic wraps

• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper

freezing methods.

Do nat use

• Bread wrappers

• Non-polyethylene plastic containers

• Containers without tight lids

• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

• Thin, semi-permeable wrap

_, CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic

food containers in the freezer compartment. They may

break or burst if they freeze.

Both the refrigerator and freezer sections defrost

automatically; however, clean both sections about once a

month to prevent odors. Wipe up spills immediately.

GENERAL CLEANING TIPS

• Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.

• Remove all removable parts, such as shelves, crispers,

etc. Refer to sections in Using Your Refrigerator for

removal instructions.

• Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners.

• Hand wash, rinse and dry all surfaces thoroughly.

• Plug in refrigerator or reconnect power.

OUTSIDE

Waxing external painted metal surfaces helps provide

rust protection. Do not wax plastic parts. Wax painted

metal surfaces at least twice a year using appliance wax

(or auto paste wax). Apply wax with a clean, soft cloth.

For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean

sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water.

Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly

with a soft cloth.

INSIDE WALLS (allow freezer to warm up so

the cloth will not stick)

To help remove odors, you can wash the inside of the

refrigerator with a mixture of baking soda and warm

water. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of

water (26 g soda to 1 liter water.) Be sure the baking soda

is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces

of the refrigerator.

_CAUTION: While cleaning the inside, do not spray

water.

DOOR LINERS AND GASKETS

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use cleaning waxes, concentrated

detergents, bleaches, or cleaners containing petroleum on

plastic refrigerator parts.

PLASTIC PARTS (Covers and Panels)

Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and a mild detergent

in warm water. Do not use window sprays, abrasive

cleansers, or flammable fluids. These can scratch or

damage the material.

CONDENSER COILS

rattle during the move. Refer to the USING YOUR

REFRIGERATOR section for removal instructions.

oDepending on the model, raise the front of the

refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the

leveling legs all the way so they do not scrape the

floor. See the DOOR ALIGNMENT section.

6. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the

refrigerator cabinet.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and

refer to the REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION section for

preparation instructions.

28

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

This water line installation is not covered by the refrigerator

warranty. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the

risk of expensive water damage.

Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and can

lead to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber

to correct water hammer before installing the water supply

line to the refrigerator.

CAUTION: To prevent burns and product damage, only

connect the refrigerator water line to a cold water supply.

Connect to a potable water supply only.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

•Copper Tubing, 1/4 in. outer

diameter, to connect the refrigerator

to the water supply. Be sure both

ends of the tubing are cut square.

•To determine how much tubing you

need: measure the distance from the water valve on the

back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe. Then,

add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

(about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in.

[25 cm] diameter) to allow the refrigerator to move out

from the wall after installation.

•Power drill.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water

line, make sure the icemaker power switch is in the OFF (O)

position.

Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

WATER PRESSURE

Connect to a cold water supply. The water pressuremust

Ifareverse osmosis water filtration system is connected

to your cold water supply, this water line installation is not

covered by the refrigerator warranty. Follow the following

instructions carefully to minimize the risk of expensive water

damage.

Ifareverse osmosis water filtration system is connected

to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse

osmosis system needs to be aminimum of 40 to 60 psi (2.8

kgf/cm 2 - 4.2 kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0-3.0 sec. to fill acup

of 7oz capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is less

than 21 psi or 1.5 kgf/cm2 (takes more than 4.0 sec to fill a

cup of 7oz capacity):

• Check to see if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis

system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to

refill after heavy usage.

• If the issue concerning water pressure from reverse

osmosis remains, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

• All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements.

CAUTION: Wear eye protection during installation to

prevent injury.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently used

drinking water line.

1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY

Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the pressure on the

line.

2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION

Choose a location for the valve that is

easily accessible. It is best to connect

into the side of a vertical water pipe.

When it is necessary to connect into

a horizontal water pipe, make the

connection to the top or side, rather

than at the bottom, to avoid drawing

off any sediment from the water pipe.

3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE

Drill a 1/4 in. hole in the water pipe using a sharp bit.

Remove any burrs resulting from

drilling the hole in the pipe. Be

careful not to allow water to

drain into the drill. Failure to

drill a 1/4 in. hole may result

in reduced ice production or

smaller cubes.

NOTE: The hookup line cannot be white, plastic

tubing. Licensed plumbers must use only copper

tubing NDA tubing #49595 or 49599 or Cross Link

Polyethylene (PEX) tubing.

4. FASTEN THE SHUTOFF VALVE

Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with

the pipe clamp.

ROUTE THE TUBING

Route the tubing between the cold water line and the

refrigerator.

Route the tubing through a hole drilled in the wall or

floor (behind the refrigerator or adjacent base cabinet)

as close to the wall as possible.

NOTE: Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing (about

8 feet coiled into 3 turns of about 10 in. diameter) to

allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall after

installation.

CONNECT THE TUBING TO THE VALVE

Place the compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for

copper tubing onto the end of the tubing and connect

it to the shutoff valve. Make sure the tubing is fully

inserted into the valve. Tighten the compression nut

securely.
