IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

DANGER

WARNING

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

CAUTION

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.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

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

DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

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.

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.

WARNING

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.

• 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.

ENGLISH

5

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• 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. Yo u 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.

CAUTION

• 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
drawer. 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 cord 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 refrigerator.
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 basket. They could damage the refrigerator
and/or seriously injure themselves.

• 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,
10A, or more. Additionally, if a grounding adapter is
used, make sure the receptacle box is also fully
grounded.

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

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

6

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, a certified service agent, or qualified
service personnel.

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CFC REFRIGERANT DISPOSAL

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

GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS

• 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.

• DO NOT block air holes in the refrigerator. If the air
holes are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the
refrigerator can become overcooled.

ENGLISH

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.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.

TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

CAUTION

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

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 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.

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

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 CSA-listed 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.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed
on a level surface of hard material that is the same
height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should
be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator
or approximately 223 lbs (106 kg). To protect the finish
of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton
and place under the refrigerator where you are working.
When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and
push back in straight.

REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION

POSITIONING AND LEVELING
THE REFRIGERATOR

Now that the refrigerator has been assembled, position
and level the refrigerator.

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt from front
to back or side to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady
or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:

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

1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position.

2. Open the refrigerator door and place a level on the
lower shelf. Check to make sure it is 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.

3. If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the
refrigerator is level. Using a 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.

4. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more
to the rear by turning both leveling legs clockwise.
It may take several more turns, and you should turn
both leveling legs the same.

5. Readjust if necessary.

WARNING

Both control levers must be securely touching the floor
to avoid possible personal injury or property damage
because of tipping.
