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

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.
J
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:

or ice jamming could occur.
• When the bucket is not installed, the icemaker
does not work.
• If ICE OFF blinks on the LCD display panel,
reinsert the bucket and/or make sure it is installed
properly.
.
Press and hold the test button on the icemaker for
3 seconds. The icemaker will automatically fill with
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.

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.
3.
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.

MAKING MINOR DOOR ADJUSTMENTS
Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for getting
the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the
previous section on leveling the refrigerator.
When the freezer door is higher than the refrigerator door,
adjust the refrigerator leg to level the two doors.
The following process is used when correcting the level of
either door.
1. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove
the 3 screws and the front leg cover.
.
Using the Allen wrench (1), turn the bolt (2) clockwise
to raise the door or counterclockwise to lower the
door. Close the doors to check the level. Repeat step
3 until the doors are level.
.
After the door is adjusted and the doors are leveled,
thread the nut (3) down the bolt (2) until it touches the
lower hinge (4). Tighten the bolt with the Allen wrench
(1) to lock the nut and screw in place.
NOTE: If the nut and bolt are not securely tightened, they
can come loose, causing the doors to be misaligned.

About the Automatic Icemaker
Ice is made in the automatic icemaker and sent to the
dispenser. The automatic icemaker is designed to make
ice cubes 24-hours per day. The quantity will vary
depending on the freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings, freezer load, and
other operating conditions.
• Ice takes about 12 to 24 hours for a newly installed
refrigerator to make ice.
• Icemaking stops when the ice bucket is full.
• To turn off the automatic icemaker, press the Ice Off
button on the digital panel on the front of the left
refrigerator door.
• The cube size will vary depending on the water pressure
of the connected water line.
NOTE: It is normal that a noise is produced when the
ice drops into the ice bucket.
• Even when the water pipe is not connected and the
icemaker is turned on, the water valve operates. The
noise is generated because the water pipe is not
connected, which does not mean the icemaker is
defective.
Personal Injury Hazard
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector
mechanism and/or with the heating element that
releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or hands
on the automatic icemaker mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
• Never store beverage cans or other foods in the
ice bucket 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
an authorized service center. Do not use the ice or
water until the problem is corrected.
• If you only dispense crushed ice, the ice passage
could become blocked with frost. Remove the frost
that accumulates.
• Never use crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such glasses or containers may break, and glass
fragments could be in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before filling with liquid to
avoid splashing.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and the
refrigerator performance may be affected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice
outlet to ensure proper ice dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice
door and passage.
When Should the Icemaker Be Turned Off?
• When the water supply will be shut off for several hours.
• When the ice bucket is removed for more than a minute
or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE: Ice bucket should be emptied anytime the
icemaker is turned off.
Icemaker cover
Icemaker
• The first ice and water may include particles or
odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first few batches of ice and purge
the dispenser for 2 minutes after a refrigerator
installation or if the refrigerator has not been used
for a long period.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children
may damage the controls.
Normal Sounds You May Hear
• The icemaker water will buzz as the icemaker fills with
water. If the icemaker is turned on, it will buzz even if it
has not been hooked up to water. To stop the buzzing,
turn off the icemaker.
NOTE: Icemaker bucket should be emptied anytime the
J
icemaker is turned off.
NOTE: Turning on the icemaker before the water line is
connected can damage the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into the ice
bucket and water running in the pipes as the icemaker
refills.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR
The Kenmore Elite TM Side-By-Side Refrigerator has been
designed with features and functions that maximize space
saving. The following customized compartments help
keep your food fresher longer. In order to further prevent
odor from seeping into the ice, securely wrap stored foods
as airtight as possible.
DAIRY BIN
Can be used to store small dairy
items like butter, margarine, yogurt,
and cream cheese.
TILT CAN CARRY
Can be used to store beverage
cans or bottles.
OPTIONAL WINE RACK
Helps wines maintain their taste by
providing an optimized place for
storing your wine bottles.
TEMPERED GLASS SHELVES
Designed to be crack-resistant, the
shelves can be used to store all
types of food and drinks. Circular
marks on the glass surface are a
normal phenomenon and can usually
be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
FOLDABLE SHELF
This shelf folds to let the user
quickly change the usable storage
space to accommodate tall bottles
and containers.
REFRIGERATOR DOOR BINS
Designed to handle large, bulky
items such as gallons of milk or
other large bottles and containers.
EGG CONTAINER
Best place to keep eggs. Place the
container on the shelf for easy
access.
DELl DRAWER
Designed to store and preserve
deli items such as cold cuts and
cheeses, and cuts of fresh meat.
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CRISPERS
Used to preserve the freshness of
your stored vegetables and fruits.
This drawer has been specifically
designed to control the level of
humidity within the compartment.
Keep vegetables and fruits
separate, when possible.
STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
ICE BUCKET
Designed to store large amounts
of ice.
Do not use your fingers, hands, or any other objects in

in personal injury or material damage.
SLIDE-SHELVES
Can be used to store all types of
frozen food.
FREEZER DOOR BINS

frozen food.
FREEZER DRAWERS
Best used to store meats or dry
foods. Stored food should be
wrapped securely using foil or
other suitable wrapping materials
or containers.
FOOD STORAGE TIPS:
• DO NOT place any large items of food under the lamp
in the refrigerator. An air sensor is located near the
lamp and if the sensor is blocked, the refrigerator may
become too cold.
• ALWAYS place vegetables and fruits in the vegetable
and fruit crispers to avoid freezing.
• If the food in the refrigerator becomes frozen, please set
the temperature higher.
• Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do
not tip and fall out when the refrigerator door is opened.
• If you plan to go away for an extended period, empty
the refrigerator and turn it OFF. Wipe excess moisture
from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors
open. This helps keep odor and mold from developing.
USING THE DOORS
The refrigerator and freezer doors have automatic door
closers to ensure that the doors close and seal
completely.
When a door is opened or closed to less than 3 inches, it
will automatically close and seal. When a door is opened
more than 3 inches, it will stay open until it is closed.
