WARNING

• Be sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the refrigerator - Be sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the refrigerator, Otherwise, the parts can collide and break each other.

• 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).

WARNING

: The use of this appliance can expose you to chemicals known to the state of California

to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

…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 less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality as you can.

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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 below 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.

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.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, the use of an extension cord is not

recommended.

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a ULlisted (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.

However, if you still elect to use an

3-prong grounding type wall receptacle

3-prong grounding plug

Ensure proper ground exists before use.

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 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.

SMART FEATURES

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

OVERVIEW

Kenmore Smart connectivity transforms your relationship with your home. You can personalize the way Kenmore Smart products operate based on your schedule and daily routines, making life easier and providing greater peace of mind. It does this by letting you link with and manage your Kenmore Smart products on one app, all from trusted brands, from a smart phone, tablet or computer.

This appliance is a connected-ready appliance, allowing you to remotely monitor and control it from your smart phone via the Kenmore® Smart app. To get started, you will need the following:

• Kenmore Elite® Smart Appliance

• WI-FI home router connected to the internet

• Smart phone

• Kenmore Smart app For more information about your Kenmore Elite® Smart appliance, please visit www.Kenmore.com/smart.

The Smart Grid function controls energy usage which helps you save energy during peak usage periods. You can override the SMART GRID function at any time (using the Smart Grid button or application).

Smart Grid responds to notification events from your utility company to run high energy-consuming tasks only during off-peak times when electrical demand is lower. These notification events are known as Demand Response (DR) signals. If the refrigerator receives a DR signal from the utility company, the refrigerator will turn on the GRID MODE LED on the refrigerator control panel and regulate power consumption according to the signal received. The refrigerator will respond to the signals received from the utility company as long as the appliance is connected to the internet and Smart Grid is enabled.

DEFINITIONS SMART LED (blue):

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

CAUTION

• 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.

• 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.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

How to use the Automatic Icemaker

The dispenser icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle.

• The dispenser icemaker will produce approximately 216 - 288 cubes (20 - 24 cycles a day) in a 24 hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door opening and other user conditions.

• It is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds when the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin

• To prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice cube storage bin.

• If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sufficient, the ice may not be dispensed. Wait a day or so to make more ice.

• If the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser outlet is not blocked.

• Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the level of the optical sensor space at the dispenser icemaker base.

Optical Sensor Space

Dispenser Icemaker

Icemaking will stop when the dispenser ice bin fills to the level of the optical sensor, or when the freezer ice bin fills and pushes the shutoff arm all the way up. Clear the bin of excessive ice. If you remove bin for clearing, return bin correctly into place. Icemaking will resume after the ice bin is cleared to below the optical sensor in the dispenser icemaker, or cleared to allow the shutoff arm to lower in the freezer icemaker.

It is normal for several ice cubes to be joined together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become shrunken, cloudy and taste stale. If you won't use ice frequently, shut icemaking off.

To shut icemaker off, press the Ice Maker pad on the refrigerator main control panel so that OFF illuminates in the panel display.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE:

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:

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

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal 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
