CFC Disposal

Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluomcarbons)_ CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the CFC refiigerant is removed for proper

disposal by a qualified service!: If you intentionally release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines

and imprisonment under provisions of the Federa! Clean Air' Act.

Grounding Requirements

|H PORTANT: Please read carefully.

To Connect Electricity

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be

properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a three-prong

(grounding) plug which

mates with a standard

three-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard fiom this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and the circuit chedced by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Preferred Method

Insure proper ground exists before use°

If the outlet is a standard two-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong

wall outlet. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrical oudet 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

overheated wires.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUHSTANCES, CUT OR REHOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)

PRONG FROMTHE POWER CORD.

Grounding Requirements

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 necessaly 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.

Refrigerator Installation

Clearances

Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,

proper air circtflation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

Trim Kits and Decorator

For Built-In models

Some models a_e equipped with trim Idts that allow you

to install door panels° You can order pre-cut black or'

white decorator panels from your Seais Service Center, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets°

Panels Less Than !14" (6 mm) Thick

When installing wood panels less than 1/4" (6 ram) thick, you need to create a filler pane!, such as 1/8"

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut

decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the Idto The combined thiclmess of the decorator or

wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4" (6 mm)o

To make the doors even, adjust the flesh

food door_ Insert a 3/16" Allen wrench into the bottom of

the hinge pin. Turn the door adjusting screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless a wrench is used°) After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close rile fresh food

door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.

Panel Installadon

314" (19 mm) or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a I/4"

(6 ram) thick bactdng, or a 3/4" (t9 mm) routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2" (51 ram) from the handle side for fingertip clearance.

Weight limitations for custom panels:

Fresh Food: 35 lb. (I6 kg) max, Freezer Door: 25 lb. (11 kg) max.

1/4" (6 ram)

Thick Backing

Care of Pre-Cut Panels

Cleaaa these panels using an anti-static cleaner or a mild detergent and water° (Look for' anti-static cleaner in electronic or computer' departments°) Rinse

thoroughly and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth or chamois° Do not use paper towels to wash or dry the panels. Do not use cleaners that contain solvents, such

as ammonia, because they can damage the panels. Shallow scratches arid abrasions can be corrected with

a good grade of hard automobile paste wax° Do not use a cleanedwax combination. The wax wil! fill in any

minor surface scratches and will help to maintain the luster of the panels. Apply the wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth using a circular motion.

Water Line mnstallation Instructions

Before You Begin:

° If the water supply to the refrigerator is fi'om a

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System and the refrigerator is equipped with a built-in filtration

system, it is not necessary to use the refrigerator's

water filter, Use the refiigerator's Filter Bypass Plug_

Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water

dispenser_

• This water line installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage_

o Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead to water' leakage or flooding. Call a qualified

plumber to correct water hammer before installing the water supply line to the refrigerator_

o To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water Iine to the hot water lineo

° If you use your refrigerator befbre connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is kept in the STOP (up) position_

• DO NOT install the icemaker tubing in areas where temperatures fall below freezing°

° When using any electrical device (such as a power'

drill) during installation, be sure the device is

insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard of electric shock_

• M1 installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements°

WhatYou WRI Need

To determine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance fiom the water valve on die back of the refrigerator to the water' supply pipe, Then add

8 feet (244 cm), Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

[about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about !0

inches (25 cm) diametel] to allow the iefrigerator to move out from the wall after' installation,

• A water supply kit (containing copper tubing,

shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available at extra cost from your Sears store oK'Seas Selvice Center;

• Cold water supply. The water' pressure must be

between 40 and 120 p.s.i.

° Power drill.

° Copper tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the

refrigerator to the water supply. Be sure both ends of the tubing are cut squale.

DO NOT use plastic tubing or plastic fittings because the water supply line is under pressure at all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become brittle with ageand crack, resulting in water leakage.

• Two 114" outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)_to connect the copper tubing to the shutoffvalve and the refrigerator water' valve.

° If your existing water line has a flaked 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,

° Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line. The

shutoffvalve should have a water inlet with a minimum inside diameter' of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLDWATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoffvalves ate included in many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.

Shut Off the Hain Water Supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line of water:

[] install the ShutoffValve

a. Install the shutoff valve on the nearest fiequently

used drin!dng water line_

b. Choose a location for the v_ve 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.

c. Drill a 114" hole in the water pipe, using a sharp

bit. Remove any burrs resulting from drilling the hole in the pipe.

d. Fasten the shutoff valve

to the cold water pipe

Food Storage Suggestions

Fresh Food Storage Tips

To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry=

• Always remove store wrappings.

• Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper and refrigerate

immediately

To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag.

• Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mol&

• Store pre-packaged cheese in its own wrapping if you wish.

To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers-- they've been designed to preserve the natural moisture

and freshness of producer

• Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps maintain crispness.

• As a further aid to freshness, pte-packaged vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping.

Tips on Freezing Foods

o Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains

quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality.

° Freeze fruits and vegetables quicldy after piddng.

The sooner you do, the better the frozen product will

be, with less culling and sorting to do.

* Use food wraps designed especially for freezing. To store ice cream--Fine-quality ice cream, with high

cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more "airy" already-packaged brands

with low cream content.

° It will be necessary to experiment to determine the

freezer compartment location and temperature control setting to keep your ice cream at the right

serving temperature°

° The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly colder'

than the frontr

To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other heaw-duty wrapping material) forming it carefully to the shape of the contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the package to provide a good, lasting seat.

Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed; meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen

successfully only once.

Convenience Center

The Convenience Center consists of an automatic

icemaker, an ice & water dispenser and a special

compartment with its own door that becomes a

counter' when you open it. Frequently used items stored

on the fresh food door are readily accessible through the Convenience Center

Compartment door without having to open the main refrigerator door, The upper fresh food compartment

light wilI come on when the Convenience Center

Compartment door is opene& (Note: Be sure to close the door after user)

The work surface on the Convenience Center counter

is durable, stain- and scratch-resistant, but do not use it as a cutting board. Sharp utensils can

damage it. The special design of the

door allows you to tilt and lift up the door in order

to clean the bottom of the frame.

Cold air entering from the

fteezer compartment keeps

the temperature in the

Convenience Center at proper food-keeping levels.

The bin panel limits the amount of cold air that escapes when the

Convenience Center door is opened. To reach food from the

inside, lift the panel up.

To remove the Convenience Center bin, first remove the panel using the hand holds.

Then remove the bin by lifting it up and out,

Note: Use caution in closing or using the

clean-out feature in the presence of small children.

Automatic Rcemaker

A newly installed refrigerator may take up to

24 hours to begin making ice.

How the RcemakerWorks

The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle---

If you use your refrigerator before the water connection is made, make sure the icemal_er feeler arm

is in the STOP (up) position. When the water supply has been connected to the icemal_er, move the feeler

arm to ON (down) position.

The icemal_er will fill with water when it cools to

freezing. Note: With a newly-installed refrigerator, allow about 24 hours for the freezer compartment to

get cold enough to make ice.

ON (down) position

Move Feeler Arm to STOP (Up) Position When...

• Home water supply is to be turned off for several

hours_

o Ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time. o Going away on vacation, at which time you should

also turn off the valve in the watez supply line to your refiigerator..

o Moving the freezer control to the OFF position.

If This lsYour First Icemaker...

You'll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar.

These are normal icemaldng sounds and are not cause

fi_r concern°

if Ice Is Not Used Often...

"Old" ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale. Empty ice storage bin periodically and wash it in

hdcewarm water. Be sure to allow storage bin to cool before replacing it---otherwise ice cubes

may stick to other parts of the icemalce_.

Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or

24 cubes), This wi_ flush away any impurities in the

water line. Do the same thing after vacations or

extended periods when ice isn't used°

To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes

occasionally. When cubes fall into the bin they may pile

up close to the icemaker and push the feeler arm to the STOP (up) position before the bin gets full. Keeping the

cubes level allows the icemaker to fill the bin.

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is normal for several cubes to be joined together:

ice and Water Dispenser

To Use the Dispenser

Press the rim of the glass gently against the dispenser pad.

Select CUBED ICE, CRUSHED ICE (on

some models) or WATER

The spill shelf is not self-

draining. To reduce water

spotting, the shelf and its grille Spil_Shelf should be cleaned regularly.

If no water is dispensed when the refligerator is first installed, there may be air in the water line system.

Press the dispenser pad for at least two minutes to remove trapped air from the water line and to fill the

water system. To flush out impurities in the water line,

throw away the first six glassfuls of watet:

A light switch (on some models) turns the night light in the dispenser on or off. The light also comes on when the dispenser pad is pressed. The light in the dispenser should be replaced with a 7-watt maximum

bulb when it burns out..

CAUTION: Never put fingers or any other objects into the ice crusher discharge

opening.

Important Facts AboutYour Dispenser

* Add ice before filling the glass with a beverage. * Do not add ice flom trays or bags to the storage bin°

It may not crush or dispense welt.

o Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of narrow

or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the chute or cause the door' in the chute to freeze shut.

If'ice is blocldng the chute, poke it through with a

wooden spoon.

, Beverages and fi_ods should not be quick-chilled in the

ice storage bin. Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger to jam.

, Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though

you selected CUBED ICEo This happens occasionally when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the

crusher.

* After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip

flom the chute,

* Sometimes a mound of snow will form on the door

in the ice chute. This condition is normal and usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

* Dispensed water' is not ice coldo For colder water, add

crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water:

ice Storage Bin

TO REHOVE: Lift the left corner to free the bin from the

shelf and pull the bin straight out while supporting it at front

and rear.

TO REPLACE: Slide the bin

If the bin does not go all the

way back, remove it and turn

the drive mechanism 1/4 turn.

Then push the bin back again

until the tab on the bin Ioclcs

into the slot on the shelf.

External Water Filter Accessory

(optional at extra cost)

Your ice cubes can only be as flesh-tasting

asthe water that produces them. That's why it's a good idea to filter the water

with a water filter,

The water filter is an optional part at extra

cost and is available fl'om your Sears Service

Center° It may be installed in minutes when

attached to the inlet water tube connection.

Water Supply Accessory Kit

(optional at extra cost)

A water supply ldt containing copper tubing, shutoff

valve, fittings and instructions needed to connect the icemaker to your cold water line is also available from

your Sears store or Sear_ Service Center.
