Follow these tips when moving the refrigerator to final location:

5^ NEVER transport refrigerator on its

side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes prior to plugging refrigerator in to assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal parts.

5^ Use an appliance dolly when moving

refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side or back-

NEVER from its front.

3^ Protect outside finish of refrigerator

during transport by wrapping cabinet in blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.

GENERAL USE CONDITIONS

Read this Performance Data Sheet and

compare the capabilities of this

refrigerator with your actual water

treatment needs.

DO NOT use this product where water is microbioiogicaiiy unsafe or of unknown quaiity without adequate disinfection installed before or after filtration system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that may contain filterable cysts.

Use only with cold water supply. Check for compliance with the state

and local laws and regulations.

The retractable water filtration system

uses a 9005 replacement cartridge (see

Sears contact information at the back of your Use and Care Guide to order). Timely replacement of filter cartridge is essential for performance satisfaction from this filtration system. Please refer to the applicable section in this Use and Care Guide for general operation, maintenance requirements and troubleshooting.

This system has been tested according

to ANSI/NSF 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed below. The concentration of the indicated substances in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in ANSI/NSF 42 and 53.

Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces effectivity of air circulation around food and causes

refrigerator to run longer.

> Avoid adding too much warm food to

refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartments and slows rate of cooling.

> DO NOT use aluminum foil, wax paper,

or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes

refrigerator to run less efficiently.

>■ A freezer that is % full runs most

efficiently.

3^ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of

room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

Refer to section in Use and Care

Guide on temperature controls for

recommended control settings.

> Clean door gaskets every three

months according to use and care guide instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigerator runs efficiently.

3> Take time to organize items in

refrigerator to reduce time that door is open.

> Be sure your doors are closing

securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your use and care guide.

>■ Clean condenser coils off as

indicated in the Use and Care Guide every 3 months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.

Today’s refrigerators use foam insulation and are more energy efficient than refrigerators of the past. However, foam insulation is

not as sound absorbent as former insulated models. As a result, certain sounds may be unfamiliar. In time, these sounds will become familiar. Please refer to this information before calling service.
