To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your product, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following.
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
• DO NOT piug severai appliances into the same power
receptacle. Large appliances draw a lot of power.
Powering more than one appliance or machine from a
single power source could cause overheating and cause
a fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A CAUTION
If you have a long vacation planned, empty the
refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe excess moisture from
the inside and leave the doors open to keep odor and
mold from developing.
Service Warranty and Modification
Any changes or modifications performed by a third party
on this finished appliance are not covered under Sears
warranty service, nor can Sears be responsible for
safety issues that result from third-party modifications.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CFC REFRIGERANT DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used
CFOs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFOs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is not intended for use by small children
or infirm persons without capable, adult supervision.
Small children should be supervised when using the
appliance.
DO NOT block air holes in the refrigerator. If the air
holes are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the
refrigerator can become overcooled. Prolonged periods
of overcooling will break the water filter and cause water
leakage.
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure
the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified servicer. If you intentionally release the CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
A WARNING
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.
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 which 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.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
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 necessary that it be
a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension
cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and an
electrical rating of the cord of 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.
Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance
needed for the back of the refrigerator.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Kenmore Elite™
Side-By-Side Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the many
state-of-the-art features and efficiencies that this new
appliance offers.
Selecting the best location for the refrigerator.
• A location with easy access to the water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.

WATER LINE REQUIREMENTS
A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your
new Kenmore Elite™ Side-By-Side Refrigerator. To help
promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted
particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or
destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a
water purifying system to do that.
In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a water
pressure of 20~125 psi (pounds per square inch) is
required.
Under normal conditions, a 170-cc (5.75-oz.) cup can be
filled in 10 seconds.
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.
Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is
properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever
until the water runs from the water outlet.
NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra
cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water
supply kit that contains copper tubing.
NOTE: Keep track of all loose parts to prevent
misplacing or losing them during disassembly.
10. Lift bottom hinge (24) straight up to separate it from
the bottom hinge bracket (25).
11. Reattach the refrigerator and freezer doors by
reversing the order of the steps 10 to 3.
Reattaching the water supply lines:
1.
The water supply line
must be fully inserted to
the marked line to
prevent water leakage
from the dispenser.
NOTE: The water supply
lines are color-coordinated,
so the line color should
always match. One
supplies the icemaker
and the other supplies the
water dispenser.
2.
Insert the 2 clips and check that each clip holds the
line firmly.
CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY LINE
1. Shut off the main water supply line and make sure the
icemaker is turned off.
2. Locate the nearest cold water line (1).
NOTE: Only connect to a drinkable cold water source.
3. Install pipe clamp (2) on cold water line (1).
4. Cover threads of shut-off valve (4) with pipe thread
tape or compound; then thread into pipe clamp (2)
and cold water line (1).
5. Connect water line installation kit (3) to shut-off valve (4).
3. Install the front leg cover (2) and secure with 3 screws.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
POSITIONING AND LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR
Now that the refrigerator has been assembled and
connected to a water supply source, position and level the
the refrigerator.
The refrigerator has three front leveling legs—one on the
right, one on the left, and one in the middle. Adjust legs to
alter tilt from front to back or side to side. If the
refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to
close easier, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the
instructions below:
NOTE: Make sure the location meets all the requirements
listed on page 9.
1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove
the 3 screws and the front leg cover.
4. If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the
refrigerator is level. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn
the leg counterclockwise to extend the leg and raise
the refrigerator at that point. Turn the leg clockwise to
retract the leg and lower the refrigerator at that point.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.
5. Replace the front leg cover and secure with 3 screws.
6. Close the refrigerator and freezer doors.
3. Place a level on the lower shelves or drawer covers.
Check to make sure the refrigerator and freezer
sections are level from side to side and front to back.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the
top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the
leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
