ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must

be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed

and grounded.

IMPORTANT WARNING

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified

electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

An empty refrigerator can pose a threat to children. To render the unit harmless we strongly recommend removing the door prior to disposal.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your

refrigerator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Remove exterior and interior packings, wipe the outside thoroughly with a soft dry cloth and the inside with a wet, lukewarm cloth. Avoid placing the unit in

a narrow recess or near any heat source, direct sunlight, or moisture. Let air circulate freely around the unit. Keep the rear of the refrigerator 5 inches away from the wall.

LOCATION

1) Select a place with a strong, level floor.

2) Allow 5 inches of space between the back of the

refrigerator and any adjacent wall.

3) Avoid direct sunlight and heat. Direct sunlight

may affect the acrylic coating. Heat sources nearby will cause higher electricity consumption.

To avoid vibration, the unit must be set level. This is accomplished by adjusting the front leveling leg, located under the refrigerator.

NOTES:

• This appliance is intended for FREE-STANDING INSTALLATION ONLY, and is NOT intended to be

built-in.

• Before connecting this appliance to electrical power

supply, leave it to stand for approx. 24 hours, which will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the

cooling system due to transport handling.

• This appliance is approved for INDOOR USE ONLY

and is NOT intended for outdoor operation.

IMPORTANT: Install this appliance in a room where

the ambient temperature is between 55°F (13°C) and 77°F (25°C). If the temperature around the

appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Important Note: This appliance uses semi-conductor

technology to cool the interior cabinet, and is

designed to operate at a maximum of 30°F (16°C) degrees below the room's ambient temperature.

CLEANING:

Before cleaning the refrigerator, always empty and disconnect from the power supply. To clean the inside, use a soft cloth and a solution of a tablespoon of

baking soda to one quart of water, or a mild soap suds solution, or some mild detergent. Wash shelf in a

mild detergent solution, then dry and wipe with a soft cloth. Clean the outside with a soft, damp cloth and

some mild detergent or appliance cleaner. VACATION TIME:

For short vacation periods, leave the control knob at the usual setting. For longer absences;

a) Remove all foods,

b) Disconnect from electrical outlet, c) Leave door open to avoid possible formation of

condensate, mold, or odors.

POWER FAILURE: Most power failures are corrected within an hour or

two, and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the

number of door openings while the power is off.

During power failures of longer duration, take steps to

protect your food by placing dry ice on top of

packages.

IF YOU MOVE:

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE REFRIGERATOR:

" Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.

" Beverages should be stored in sealed containers.

" Foods to be stored for a long time should be

wrapped in cellophane or polyethylene, or kept in

glass containers. Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.

" Do not overload the refrigerator. " Do not open the door unless necessary.

Should the refrigerator be stored without use for

long periods it is suggested that, after a careful cleaning, you leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible

formations of condensate, mold or odors.

FOOD STORAGE SUGGESTIONS: Fresh Food Compartment

" Never cover shelves with aluminum foil or any other

shelf covering material as it may prevent air

circulation.

" Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature

before placing them in the refrigerator.

" Always cover open dishes of food, especially

leftovers. Use leftovers within 2-3 days.

Occasionally, a minor problem may arrise, and a service call may not be necessary- use this troubleshooting guide for a possible solution. If the unit continues to operate improperly, call Sears at 1-800-4MY-HOME
