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 don't follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.

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. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous...even if they will sit for "just a few days."

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions at right to help prevent

accidents.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using your product, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the

following.

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

• DO NOT plug several appliances into the same power receptacle. Large appliances draw a lot of power.

Powering more than one appliance or machine from a

single power source could cause overheating and cause a fire.

• Make sure that the power plug is not kinked or damaged by the back of the refrigerator. A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

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.

DO NOT spray water directly into or on the outside of the refrigerator/freezer drawer. Water could get into the

interior machine parts and cause electric shock. DO NOT use aerosols near the refrigerator. Aerosols

used near the refrigerator may cause an explosion or fire. DO NOT put undue stress on the power cord or place

heavy articles on it. Placing heavy articles on the power cord creates the risk of explosion or fire.

DO NOT insert the power plug with wet hands. It may cause electric shock.

DO NOT put a container filled with water on the refrigerator. If it spills, it may cause fire or electric shock.

• DO NOT install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water. Wet and/or deteriorated insulation of the internal electrical parts may

cause electric shock or fire.

• DO NOT store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator. Storing benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP

gas, and other such products may cause explosions.

• DO NOT disassemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself. You may run the risk of fire, appliance malfunctions, and/or personal injury. Call your nearest service center for help from a qualified service

technician.

• Unplug the refrigerator before changing the interior light. Changing the light while the refrigerator is plugged in

may cause electric shock.

The refrigerator must be safely grounded. ALWAYS make sure that you have grounded the refrigerator before attempting to investigate or repair any part of the appliance. Power leakages can cause severe electric

shock. NEVER use gas pipes, telephone lines, or other

potential lightning attractors as an electrical ground.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord to power the refrigerator, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord

should be AC 115V/120V, 15A, or more. Additionally, if a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle

box is also fully grounded.

• Use good judgment when filling the refrigerator with food and drinks. In an overfull refrigerator, heavy, fragile,

bulky, or breakable items may fall out and cause personal injury and/or damage to surrounding objects.

• DO NOT put bottles or glass containers in the freezer. When the contents freeze and then expand, the glass may break and cause personal injury or leave dangerous glass shards in the freezer.

• If the electrical wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire. Have the plug looked at by a licensed electrician.

• NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.

- Always grip the power plug firmly and pull straight out

from the outlet. Yanking or pulling on the power cord

may cause a short circuit, fire, and/or electric shock.

- A damaged power cord must be replaced by the

manufacturer, a certified service agent, or qualified

service personnel.

• DO NOT store articles on the top of the appliance. When you open or close the door, the articles may fall and cause personal injury and/or damage to surrounding objects.

• DO NOT store pharmaceutical products, scientific materials, and temperature-sensitive products in the refrigerator. Products that require exact temperature controls should not be stored in the refrigerator.

• DO NOT allow children to climb, stand, or hang on shelves and handles of the refrigerator. DO NOT sit on

the freezer door. DO NOT allow children to climb into

the freezer. They could damage the refrigerator and/or seriously injure themselves.

If you notice a chemical or burning plastic smell or see smoke, unplug the refrigerator immediately and contact your Sears Service Center.

After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold surfaces in the freezer compartment. Particularly when hands are damp or wet, skin may adhere to these extremely cold surfaces. Skin may stick to the surface and you may get frostbite.

DO NOT put your hands under the appliance. Any sharp edges may cause personal injury.

NEVER put fingers or other objects into the water dispenser hole or ice chute. It may cause personal injury and/or material damage.

If the refrigerator will not be used for a long period of time (for example, over several months), unplug the power from the wall. Over time, deterioration in the power cord insulation may cause fire.

DO NOT use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning plug.

Remove any dust or foreign matter from the power plug pins. A dirty power plug can increase the risk of fire.

If the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply, you should wait for at least five minutes before plugging

it back in.

• DO NOT place the refrigerator directly in sunlight.

• The appliance must be positioned for easy access to the power source.

• If you have a long vacation planned, empty the refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe excess moisture from the inside and leave the doors open to keep odor and mold from developing.

This appliance is not intended for use by small children or infirm persons without capable, adult supervision. Small children should be supervised when using the appliance.

• Service Warranty and Modification Any changes or modifications performed by a third party on this finished appliance are not covered under Sears warranty service, nor can Sears be responsible for safety issues that result from third-party modifications.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Electrical Shock Hazard

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the

circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make

sure the outlet is properly grounded.

3-prong grounding-type

wall receptacle

DO NOT block air holes in the refrigerator. If the air holes are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the refrigerator can become overcooled. Prolonged periods of overcooling will break the water filter and cause water leakage.

If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a qualified servicer. If you intentionally release the CFC refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment under provisions of environmental legislation.

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 which 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.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

3-prong grounding

plug

Ensure proper ground exists

before use.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use

an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension

cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and an electrical rating of the cord of 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts.

Use of an extension cord will increase the clearance needed for the back of the refrigerator.

Use this section to become more familiar with the parts and features. Page references are included for your

convenience. NOTE: The refrigerator you have purchased may have some or all of the items listed below.

WATER LINE REQUIREMENTS

A water dispenser is one of the helpful features on your new Kenmore Elite TM Side-By-Side Refrigerator. To help promote better health, the water filter removes unwanted particles from your water. However, it does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You may need to purchase a water purifying system to do that.

In order for the icemaker to operate properly, a water pressure of 20~125 psi (pounds per square inch) is required.

Under normal conditions, a 170-cc (5.75-oz.) cup can be filled in 10 seconds.

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.

Make sure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled. To do this, press the water dispenser lever

until the water runs from the water outlet.

NOTE: Water line installation kits are available at extra cost from your dealer. We recommend using a water

supply kit that contains copper tubing.

NOTE: Keep track of all loose parts to prevent misplacing or losing them during disassembly.

10. Lift bottom hinge (24) straight up to separate it from the bottom hinge bracket (25).

11. Reattach the refrigerator and freezer doors by reversing the order of the steps 10 to 3.

Reattaching the water supply lines:

The water supply line must be fully inserted to

the marked line to prevent water leakage

from the dispenser. NOTE: The water supply

lines are color-coordinated, so the line color should

always match. One supplies the icemaker

and the other supplies the water dispenser.

2. Insert the 2 clips and check that each clip holds the line firmly.

3. Install the front leg cover (2) and secure with 3 screws.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY LINE

1. Shut off the main water supply line and make sure the icemaker is turned off.

2. Locate the nearest cold water line (1). NOTE: Only connect to a drinkable cold water source.

3. Install pipe clamp (2) on cold water line (1).

4. Cover threads of shut-off valve (4) with pipe thread tape or compound; then thread into pipe clamp (2)

and cold water line (1).

5. Connect water line installation kit (3) to shut-off valve (4).

supplied tap water. After the icemaker has completed filling, check to make sure the amount of water is

correct.

NOTE: Be sure to flush 3 gallons (11.4 liters) approximately 6 minutes). This purges any air in the water lines that could cause the dispenser to drip.

Test button

If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small. Contact a plumber to increase the water

pressure to the refrigerator.

Replace the icemaker cover and close the freezer door.

POSITIONING AND LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that the refrigerator has been assembled and connected to a water supply source, position and level the the refrigerator.

The refrigerator has three front leveling legs--one on the right, one on the left, and one in the middle. Adjust legs to

alter tilt from front to back or side to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to

close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

NOTE: Make sure the location meets all the requirements listed on page 9.

1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove the 3 screws and the front leg cover.

If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the refrigerator is level. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the leg counterclockwise to extend the leg and raise the refrigerator at that point. Turn the leg clockwise to retract the leg and lower the refrigerator at that point. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

5. Replace the front leg cover and secure with 3 screws.

6. Close the refrigerator and freezer doors.

Place a level on the lower shelves or drawer covers.

Check to make sure the refrigerator and freezer sections are level from side to side and front to back.

NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
