II%P©RTAHT: Proper Disposal of the Refrigerator

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 days2'

If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please

follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Th row Away Your

Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

o Tal<e off the doors.

° Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside..

CFC Disposal

Your old refiigerator has a cooling system that used

CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to

harm stratospheric ozone,

If you are throwing away ),out" old refrigeratm; make

sure the CFC refrigerant is removed for proper

disposa! by a qualified se_vicer_ If you intentionally

release this CFC refrigerant you can be subject to fines

and imprisonment under provisions of the Federal

Clean Air' Act.

Grounding Requirements

itMPORTANT: Please read carefu!ly.

To Connect ERectricity

FOR PERSONAL

SAFETY, this

appliance must be

properly grounded.

The power cord of this

appliance is equipped

with a three-prong

(grounding) plug which

mates with a standard

PreferredMethod

'uu _i_t_ b_re _,_e

///

three-prong (grounding) wail outlet to minimize the

possibility ofdectric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wail outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

tf the outlet is a standard two-prong wall outlet, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have

it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong

wall outlet_

The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own

individual electrica! outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house

wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires_

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CMRCUHSTANCES,

CUT OR REHOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)

PRONG FROH THt_ POVVER CORD.

Grounding Requirements

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

UL-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 refiige_ator,

Leveling Rollers

Tile rollers have two purposes:

I. The rollers need to be adjusted so the refiigerator is

firmly positioned on the floor and does not rock

back and forth.

2. The rollers allow you to move the tefi'igerator away

from the wail for cleaning.

To adjust the rollers:

° Remove the base grille

by pulling it out at the

bottom.

Turn the two front

roller adjusting screws

clockwise to raise

the refrigerator,

counterclockwise to

lower it. Use a 3/8"

socket wrench, adjustable

wrench or pliers,.

Built-In Style models also

have rear adjustable rollers

so you can align the

refi'igerator with your

tdtchen cabinets_ Use a

5/16" socket wrench to

turn the screws for the

rear rollers--clockwise

to raise the :efiigerator,

counter-clockwise to

lower it..

Tr rn Kits and DecoFator

For BuHt4n models

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you

to install door panels° You can older pre-cut black or

white decorator panels from your Sears Service Center, or

you can add wood panels to match your ldtchen cabinets.

Paneas Less Than 1/4" (6 mm) Thick

When installing wood panels less than t/4" (6 ram)

thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 118"

cardboard, that wil! fit between the face of the door'

and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut

decorator panels, pre-cut filler-panels are included in

the ldto The combined thickness of the decorator or

wood panel and the filler panel shotdd be I/4" (6 mm)_

Care of Pre-Cut Panels

Clean these panels using an anti-static cleaner' or a

mild detergent and water. (Look for anti-static cleaner

in electronic or computer departments.) Rinse

thoroughly and blot dry with a clean, damp cloth or'

chamois. Do not use paper towels to wash or di7 the

panels. Do not use cleaners that contain solvents, such

as ammonia, because they can damage the panels,.

Shallow sczatches and abrasions can be corrected with

a good grade of hard automobile paste wax. Do not

use a cleaner/wax combination. The wax will fil! in any

minor' surface scratches and wilt help to maintain the

luster' of the panels,. Apply the wax sparingly and buff

lightly with a clean, soft cloth using a circular motion..

Pane JnstaJSation

3/4" (19 ram) or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or"glued to a 114"

(6 mm) thick bacldng, or a 3/4" (19 ram) routed

boar'd can be used. The raised portion of the panel

must be fi_bricated to permit clearances of at least 2"

(51 mm) fiom the handle side for fingertip clearance.

Before You Begin:

o If the water supply to the refligerator is fiom a

Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System and the

refrigerator is equipped with a built-in filtration

system, it is not necessary to use the refrigerator's

water filter:L Use the refiigerator's Filter Bypass Plug.

Using the refiigerator's water filtration cartridge in

conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow

ice cubes and slower water flow from the water

dispense_:,

_,This water line installation is not wartanted by the

refiigerat0r or icemal_er manufacturer'. Follow these

instructions caxefially to minimize the risk of

expensive water damage.

o Water hammer (water' banging in the pipes) in house

plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and

lead to water leal_age or flooding. Call a qualified

plumber to correct water hamrrler before installing

the water supply line to the refiigeratorr.

° To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook

up the water line to the hot water liner

" If you use your refrigerator before connecting the

water line, make sure the icemaker feeler arm is kept

in the STOP (up) position°

o DO NOr install the icema]ier tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing_

• When using any electrical device (such as a power

drill) during installation, be sure the device is

insulated or wired in a manner to prevent the hazard

of electric shock°

° All installations must be in accordance with local

plumbing code requirements,

WhatYou WRJ Need

To determine how much copper tubing you need:

Measure the distance fi'om the water' valve on the back

of the refiigerator to the water supply pipe_ Then add

8 feet (244 cm)_ Be sure there is sufficient extra tubing

[about 8 feet (244 cm) coiled into 3 turns of about 10

inches (25 cm) diameter] to allow the refrigerator to

move out from the wall after installation.

O

o

A water supply ldt (containing copper tubing,

shutoff valve and fittings listed below) is available

at extra cost from your Sears store or Sears

Service Center,

Cold water supply. The water pressure must be

between 40 and 120 p.s,io

Power drill.

Copper tubing, 1/4" outer diameter to connect the

refrigerator to the water' supply, Be sure both ends of

the tubing are cut square

DO NOT use plastic tubing or plastic fittings

because the water supply line is under pressure at

all times. Certain types of plastic tubing may become

brittle with age and crack, resulting in water leakage.

° Two 114" outer diameter compression nuts and

2 ferrules (sleeves)_to connect the copper tubing

to the shutoff valve and the refrigerator water valve°

o If your existing water line has a flared fitting at the

end, you will need an adapter (available at plumbing

supply stores) to connect the water' line to the

refrigerator OR you can cut off the flared fitting with

a tube cutter and then use a compression fitting,

o Shutoff valve to connect to the cold water line, The

shutoff valve should have a water inlet with a

minimum inside diameter of 5/32" at the point of

connection to the COLD VVATER LINE. Saddle-type

shutoff valves are included in many water supply idts,

Befme purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve

complies with your local plumbing codes.

Food$ orageSuggestions

FreshFoodStorageTips

To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:

o Always remove store wrappings.

o Rewrap in f0il, film or wax paper and refrigerate

immediatelT_.

To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or

aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag.

o Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent moldo

° Store pie-packaged cheese in its own wrapping

ifyou wish.

To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers--

they've been designed to preserve the natural moisture

and freshness of produce.

o Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps

maintain crispness.

° As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged vegetables

can be stored in their odginaI wrapping.

Tips on Freezing Foods

o Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains

quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality.

o Freeze fruits and vegetables quicldy after picldng.

The sooner you do, the better the frozen product will

be, with less culling and sorting to do.

o Use food wraps designed especially for freezing.

To store ice cream--Fine-quality ice cream, with high

cream content, will normally require slightly lower

temperatures than more "aii7" aheady-packaged brands

with low cream content.

o It will be necessary to experiment to determine the

freezer compartment location and temperature

control setting to keep your ice cream at the right

serving temperature.

° The rear of the freezer comparunent is slightly colder

than the front.

To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in

freezer-weight foil (or other' heavy-duty wrapping

material) forming it carefully to the shape of the

contents. This expels air. Fold and crimp ends of

the package to provide a good, lasting seal.

Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed;

meat, whether raw or cooked, can be frozen

successfully only once.

Au{:om ic l cema r

A newly installed refrigerator may take up to

24 hours to begin making ice.

How the _cemaker Works

The icemaker will produce 8 cubes per cycle--

approximately 120 cubes in a 24-hour

period depending on freezer compartment

temperature, room temperature, number of door

openings and other use conditions°

If'you use your refiqgerator before the water

connection is made, make sure the icemaker fieeler arm

is in the STOP (up) position. When the water supply

has been connected to the icem_er, move the fi:eler

arm to ON (down) position..

t i

rm in Feeler arm in

STOP (up) ON (down)

position position

The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to

freezing° Note: With a newly-installed refrigerator;

allow about 24 hours for the fieezer compartment to

get cold enough to make ice.

Throw away the first few batches of ice cubes (16 or

24 cubes). This wil! flush away any impurities in the

water line. Do the same thing after vacations or'

extended periods when ice isn't used,

To make sure the bin fills with ice, level the cubes

occasionally. _(fhen cubes fall into the bin tlaey may pile

up close to the icemaker and push the feele_ arm to the

STOP (up) position before the bin gets full Keeping the

cubes level allows the icemaker to fi!l the bin,,

The icemaker ejects cubes in groups of 8, and it is

normal for severa! cubes to be joined together:.

Hove Feeler Arm to STOP (Up)

Position When...

" Home water stipply is to be turned off for' several

hours.

o Ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time.

o Going away on vacation, at which time you should

also turn off the valve in the water supply line to

your refrigerator.

o Moving the fi'eezer control to the OFF position.

ffThis DsYour First Ilcemaker...

You'll hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar:

These are normal icemaldng sounds and are not cause

fl)r concern,

Of Ice Is Not Used Often...

"Old" ice cubes will become cloudy and taste stale.

Empty ice storage bin periodically and wash it in

lukewarm water'. Be sure to al!ow storage bin to cool

before replacing it_otherwise ice cubes

may stick to other parts of the icemaker_

important Facts AboutYour Dispenser

o Add ice before filling the glass with a beverage.

* Do not add ice from trays or bags to the storage bin.

It may not crush or dispense well.

* Avoid overfilling glass with ice and use of nai'row

or extra-tall glasses. Backed-up ice can jam the

chute or cause the door in the chute to fi'eeze shut°

If ice is blocldng the chute, poke it through with a

wooden spoon.

o Beverages and foods should not be quick-chilled in the

ice storage bin_ Cans, bottles or food packages in the

storage bin may cause the icemaker or auger' to jam.

o Some crushed ice may be dispensed even though

you selected CUBED ICE. This happens occasionally

when a few cubes accidentally get directed to the

crusher

After crushed ice is dispensed, some water may drip

from the chute.

o Sometimes a mound of'snow will form on the door

in the ice chute. This condition is normal and

usually occurs when you have dispensed crushed ice

repeatedly. The snow will eventually evaporate.

o Dispensed watei is not ice cold. For colder' water, add

,crushed ice or cubes before dispensing water..

t=xternal Water Filter Accessory

(optional at extra cost)

Your ice cubes can only be as fiesh-tasting

as the water that produces them_ That's

why it's a good idea to filter the water

with a water filter'.

The water filter is an optional part at extra

cost and is available flora your Sears Service

Center: It may be installed in minutes when

attached to the inlet water tube connection.

Water Supply Accessory Kit

(optional at extra cost)

A water supply ldt containing copper tubing, shutoff

valve, fittings and instructions needed to connect the

icemaker to your' cold water line is also available from

your' Sears store or Sears Service Center.
