To Start

Plugthe refrigeratorinto a wall outlet.Set the refrigerator

temperature control on "3". Wait 24 hours. Check the food. Adjust the control if needed.

Adjusting The Temperature

Adjust the refrigerator temperature using the cold control in the refrigerator compartment.

• The "MIN" position is the warmest setting on each

section.

• For ordinary use, set the temperature control in the "3" position.

• If either section is not cold enough, turn the control toward "MAX".

• If either section is too cold, turn the control toward

"MIN". After adjusting the control, wait 24 hours. Then, make another change, if needed.

Start / Adjust Control

Your refrigerator must he reasonably level.

Use the screw-type adjustable leveling legs on the front corners

of the refrigerator. Leveling makes the refrigerator morn

efficient and quieter.

Your Kenmore refrigerator needs three inches of air space at the top and a one inch space between the wall and the condenser on

the back of the refrigerator.

In the summer or when the refrigerator door is opened often, you may need to turn the control in the re_'ri-gerator toward "MAX" so more cold air will enter the refrigerator section.

Don't turn the refrigerator temperature control off unless

both freezer and refrigerator sections are completely empty. The control will shut off refrigeration in both sections.

Use And Care Information

Everyday care is listed on the inside door. Special cleaning instructions are on individual parts.

Before You Move Your Kenmore to a New Location.

• Remove all food (pack dry ice around any food you're

keeping). Unplug the refrigerator and tape the power cord securely to the back.

How To Clean The Inside

1. Turn the Cold Control to "OFF". UNPLUG THE POWER

CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET.

Remove food from the section or sections to be cleaned. Pack frozen food in apicnic chest or cardboard box or wrap in

several thicknesses of newspaper so it will remain frozen.

Take out removable parts and wash with a mild detergent, rinse and wipe dry.

Wash the inside with two tablespoons of baking soda mixed in one quart of warm water. If necessary, use soap or mild detergent and water. Rinse well and dry.

WARNING:

(l) Strong detergents, scouring powder or pads, will crack the plastic. Do not use them. (2) Do not wash any parts in a

dishwasher unless marked "dishwasher safe." (3) Do not clean with ammonia or bleach type chemicals which will damage your cooling unit.

Clean The Condenser

The condenser (tubing and wire attachment) is on the back of

the refrigerator. Clean it with a vacuum eleanex. Do not bend or

twist the tubes. If you have moved the refrigerator, make sure

the doors seal tightly. If they don't, level the refrigerator.

Remove Perishables Before Taking Vacations

Before going on any long vacations, remove all perishables such as fresh meats, milk, eggs, butter, fruits and vegetables. Anytime you won't be using your refrigerator regularly, for an extended period of time or are putting it into storage, empty and

unplug it. Clean the evaporation tray. Clean inside and block the doors open. Air moying through your refrigerator will help prevent odors.

How to Clean the Outside

Exterior Cabinet: Use a mild detergent or soap solution and rinse well. Do not use scouring powder or pads.

In some climates it may be advisable to help protect the cabinet finish by waxing it. Use a good quality automotive type wax, taking care not to wax any plastic parts.

How to Clean theEvaporation Tray

Since dust accumulated on the evaporation tray will decrease the evaporation efficiency, remove the tray and clean it.

The evaporation tray is set on refrigerator back. To remove, unscrew and pull it out.

Replace the evaporation tray by following the removal

instructions in reverse and be sure to secure it properly. If the tray is not securely in place, defrosted water may spill out

or the evaporation process may be hindered.

Hot-Line

With the freezer-refrigerator in operation, it is possible that the

cabinet will feel warm at the front edges. This does not indicate

trouble. It is attributable to the hot-line design adopted for this

freezer-refrigerator which consists of piping hot gas from the

(motor-driven) compressor along the front edges of the cabinet

This has nothing to do with the storage temperature inside.

the refrigerator. Please, do not remove this information. It may someday assist your serviceman should repairs be required.
