BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This guide contains many important safety messages. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or cause damage to the product.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen

if the instructions are not followed.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrlc shock, or personal

injury when using your product, basic safety precautions should be foffowed, includlncj the foffowincj.

Read aft instructions before using this appffance.

* NEVER unptug your refrigerator by putting on the

power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and putt it straight out from the outlet.

If the suppty cord is damaged, it must be reptaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

* Do not modify or extend the power cord length. It

coutd cause electric shock or fire.

* When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,

be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS

* DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on the refrigerator doors or shetves in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure

themselves.

* Keep fingers out of pinch point areas; clearances

between the doors and cabinets are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

* Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making

any repairs.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that any service be performed by a qualified technician.

Before replacing a burned-out or broken light bulb, unplug the refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit

breaker or fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when

being replaced exposing the wire filament.)

NOTE: Some models have LED interior lighting and service should be performed by a qualified technician.

WARNING: Setting either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove power to the light circuit.

When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the controls (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control, and or Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with the Attention Installer Instructions that

were taped to the front of the refrigerator. After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the

cold surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold

surfaces.

DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed completely. The United States Department of

Agriculture in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:

...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have

thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if they are

still cold--below 39°F (4°C).

...Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that have any

off-odor or off-color should not be refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice cream should be discarded.

If the odor or color of any food is poor or questionable, dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is affected tess than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS

Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even

if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions

at right to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and

suffocation).

BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY

YOUR OLD REFRIGERATOR

OR FREEZER: * Take off the doors.

* Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or

hydrochtorofluorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are

believed to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the

atmosphere. Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment if released to the atmosphere.

if you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make

sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal

by a qualified technician. If you intentionally release refrigerant, you may be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potenflal safety hazards under certain

condlflons, the use of an extension cord is not

recommended. However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-

listed (USA), 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.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance

needed for the back of the refrigerator.

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 that cannot be turned off with a switch or putt 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.

iNSTALLATiON

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.

Shock Hazard:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the refrigerator in a wet or damp area.

To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required,

adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the

leveling legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower it. (See LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT.)

NOTE: Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces, a platform or weakly supported structure is not

recommended.

install this appliance in an area where the temperature

is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

Select a place where a water supply can be easily connected for the automatic Jcemaken

NOTE: The water pressure must be from 20-120 psi or 138-827 kPa or 1.4-8.4 kgf/cm 2. 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.

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (61 cm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors and at least 2 inches (5.08 cm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.

NOTE: Removing the doors is always recommended when it is necessary to move the refrigerator through a narrow

opening, if it is necessary to remove the handles, follow the directions below.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions

below=

Open both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same

amount.

NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of the other. You may have to exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close

completely.

NOTE: Tools Required= 11/16" wrench or fiat blade

screwdriver.

1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

Door Ailgnment

IN-DOOR iCE BiN

,A CAUTION

Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in damage or personal injury.

The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice bin is full. if you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.

NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will damage the icemaker.

Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment. This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.

NOTE: Emptying the ice bin is recommended if the icemaker ON/OFF button on the controt panel is set to

OFF for an extended period of time.

2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle, slightly lift the lower part, and slowly putt out the bin

as shown.

3. To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the bin during replacement to avoid contact with the

icemaker.

When handling the ice bin, keep hands

away from the icemaker tray area to

avoid personat injury.

1. Putt or push the door handle to open or close the ice compartment.

4. Avoid touching the auto shutoff (feeler arm) when replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice compartment door for details.

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER

ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the

dispenser. The icemaker will produce 70-182 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other operating conditions.

It takes about 12to 24 hours for a newly installed refrigerator to begin making ice. Wait 72 hours for full ice production to occur.

Ice making stops when the in-door ice bin is full. When full, the in-door ice bin holds approximately 6 to 8 (12-16 oz or 340-455 cc) glasses of ice.

Foreign substances or frost on the auto shutoff (feeler arm) can interrupt ice production. Make sure the feeler arm is clean at all times for proper operation.

To increase ice production, use the Ultra Ice function. This function increases both ice making and freezing capabilities.

Personal Injury Hazard

DO NOT place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.

,ACAUTION

The first ice and water dispensed may include particles or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.

Throw away the first few batches of ice. This is also

necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a

long time.

Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice

bin for the purpose of rapid cooling. Doing so may damage the icemaker or the containers may burst.

If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the

ice or water until the problem is corrected.

Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may

play with or damage the controls. The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only

crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates

by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help

prevent frost buildup.

Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice. Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass fragments in the ice.

WHEN TO SET ICEMAKER TO OFF

* When the water supply will be shut off for several

hours.

" When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two

minutes.

" When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied when the icemaker ON/OFF button is turned to the OFF mode.

NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

If the icemaker ON/OFF button is set to ON, the valve

will buzz even if the icemaker has not het been hooked

up to water. To stop the buzzing, switch the button to

OFF.

NOTE: Keeping the icemaker ON/OFF button set to

ON before the water is connected can damage the

icemaker.

You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the bin and water running in the pipes as the icemaker refills.

PREPARING FOR VACATION

Dispense ice into a glass before filling it with water or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.

Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator

performance may be affected.

Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet. A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice

from dispensing. To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice

door and passage.

Never remove the dispenser cover.

If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off: the water supply and contact Sears Home Service in the

U.S.A. at 1-844-553-6667 and in Canada at 1-800- 469-4663.

Set the icemaker ON/OFF button to OFF and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.

NOTE: The ice bin should be emptied any time the icemaker ON/OFF button is turned OFF.

If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have a qualified technician drain the water supply system to

prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused by ruptured water lines or connections.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to

ensure freshness.

items How to

Butter or

margarine

Cheese

Milk

Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap in freezer packaging and

freeze.

Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to use it. Once

opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

I_ Wipe milk cartons. For best

storage, place milk on interior shelf, not on door shelf.

STORING FROZEN FOOD NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook

for further information about preparing food for freezing or food storage times.

Freezing Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around

packages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating

ice crystals. NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature

for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

Store fresh fish and shellfish in the freezer section if they are not

being consumed the same day of purchase. It is recommended to

consume fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or store in plastic containers with tight lids.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seat the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations: * Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids * Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

* Heavy-duty aluminum foil * Plastic-coated paper

* Non-permeable plastic wraps * Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use * Bread wrappers

* Non-polyethylene plastic containers * Containers without tight lids * Wax paper or wax=coated freezer wrap * Thin, semi-permeable wrap

CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic

food containers in the freezer compartment. They may break or burst if they freeze.
