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, electrlc shock, or personal

injury when using your product, basic safety precautions

should be foffowed, includlncj the foffowincj.

Read aft instructions before using this appffance.

*NEVER unptug your refrigerator by putting on the

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and putt it

straight out from the outlet.

If the suppty cord is damaged, it must be reptaced

by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly

qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 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

coutd cause electric shock or fire.

*When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

*DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

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

refrigerator doors or shetves 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

Before replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb,

unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit

breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live

wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when

being replaced exposing the wire filament.)

NOTE: Some models have 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 39°F (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 tess 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

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.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system

that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or

hydrochtorofluorocarbons). 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.

/// before use.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potenflal safety hazards under certain

condlflons, 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 a UL-

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.

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 or 20 amperes.

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 putt 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 this page to become more familiar with the parts and features of your refrigerator.

of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than

the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be

turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the

leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to

lower it. (See LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT.)

NOTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,

a platform or weakly supported structure is not

recommended.

install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the

temperature around the appliance is too low or high,

cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Select a place where a water supply can be easily

connected for the automatic icemaken

NOTE: The water pressure must be from 20-120 psi or

138-827 kPa or 1.4-8.4 kgf/cm 2. If the refrigerator is

installed in an area with low water pressure (below 20

psi), you can install a booster pump to compensate for

the low pressure.

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may

result in lowered freezing capability and increased

electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24

inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the

doors and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the

back of the refrigerator and the wall.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a

3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the

final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the

right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt

from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator

seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more

easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions

below=

NOTE: Tools Required= 11/16" wrench or fiat blade

screwdriver.

1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of

the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take

several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the

refrigerator.

Door Alignment

The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located

on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for

proper alignment.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the

instructions below to align the doors evenly=

Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to

turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the

right to raise or to the left to lower the height.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of

the refrigerator takes some weight off: of the leveling legs.

This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt

the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning

both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more

turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same

amount.

NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with

two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or

closed independently of the other. You may have to

exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close

completely.

The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable nut.

if the space between your doors is uneven, follow the

instructions below to align the right door:

1. With one hand, lift up both the inner and outer door

sections of the right door to raise them at the middle

hinge. (Opening the door may make lifting it easier)

2. With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap

ring on the middle hinge of the inner door section

as shown. Do not insert the ring on the hinge of the

outer door section.

IN-DOOR iCE BiN

,A_ CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door

and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in

damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice

bin is full. if you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the

extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the

ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread

the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking

the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will

damage the icemaker.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice

compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the

ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.

This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

NOTE: Emptying the ice bin is recommended if the

icemaker ON/OFF button on the controt panel is set to

OFF for an extended period of time.

2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,

slightly lift the lower part, and slowly putt out the bin

as shown.

1. Putt or push the door handle to open or close the ice

compartment.

4. Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm) when

replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice

compartment door for details.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the

dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70-182 cubes in

a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number of door openings

and other operating conditions.

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 or 340-455 cc) glasses of ice.

Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff (feeler

arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the feeler

arm is clean at all times for proper operation.

To increase ice production, use the Ultra Ice function.

This function increases both ice making and freezing

capabilities.

Personal Injury Hazard

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice

making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

,ACAUTION

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. 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 ®.

WHEN TO SET ICEMAKER TO OFF

*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 button is turned to the OFF mode.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

If the icemaker ON/OFF button is set to ON, the valve

will buzz even if the icemaker has not het been hooked

up to water. To stop the buzzing, switch the button to

OFF.

NOTE: Keeping the icemaker ON/OFF button set to

ON before the water 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.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Set the icemaker ON/OFF button to OFF and shut off the

water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the

icemaker ON/OFF button is turned OFF.

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.

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.

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

lbs. 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 seat 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

ACAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic

food containers in the freezer compartment. They

may break or burst if they freeze.

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. Catt 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.

If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water

line, make sure the icemaker is turned OFF at the control

panel.

_, CAUTION: Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas

where temperatures fall below freezing.

WATER PRESSURE

Acold water supply. The water pressure must be between

20 and 120 psi. If the refrigerator is installed in an area

with low water pressure (below 20 psi), you can install a

booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

if a reverse osmosis water filtraflon 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.

if a reverse osmosis water Nltraflon system is connected

to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the

reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to

60 psi (276-414 kPa or 2.8-4.2 kgf/cm 2, less than 2.0-3.0

sec. to fill a cup of 7oz or 198 cc capacity).

If the water pressure from the reverse osmosis system is Jess

than 20 psi or 138 kPa or 1.4 kgf/cm 2 (takes more than 4.0

sec to fill a cup of 7oz or 198 cc 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.

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 drlll.

1½in. or adjustable wrench.

Flat blade and Philllps head screwdrivers.

Two ¼in. outer diameter

compression nuts and

2ferrules (sleeves) to

connect the copper tubing

to the shutoff valve and the

refrigerator water valve.

If your existing copper water

line has a flared fitting at the

end, you will need an adapter

(available at plumbing supply

stores) to connect the water line

to the refrigerator OR you can

cut off the flared fitting with

a tube cutter and then use a

compression fitting.

Electrical Shock Hazard

When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sure the device is battery

powered, double insulated or grounded in a manner that

will prevent the hazard of electric shock.

iNSTALLATiON iNSTRUCTiONS

Instatl 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 horizontai 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 I/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.

Kenmore Connect TM (On some models)

Should you experience any problems with your

refrigerator, it has the capability of transmitting data

via your telephone to the I<enmore Connect TM Team.

This gives you the capability of speaking directly to

our trained specialists. The specialist records the data

transmitted from your machine and uses it to analyze the

issue, providing a fast ective diagnosis.

If you experience problems with your refrigerator, call

1-800-4MY-HOME (I-800-469-4663). Only use the

i<enmore Connect TM feature when instructed to do so by

the i<enmore Connect TM Team agent. The transmission

sounds that you will hear are normal and sound similar to

a fax machine.

Kenmore Connect TM cannot be activated unless your

refrigerator is connected to power. If your refrigerator

is unable to turn on, then troubleshooting must be done

without using I<enmore Connect TM.

speaker that is located on the right hinge of the

refrigerator door, when instructed to do so by the call

center.
