IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY MESSAGES
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
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.
WARNING
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or product damage only.
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.
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.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described
in this use and care guide.
NEVER unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull it straight out from the
outlet.
This refrigerator must be properly installed in accordance with
the Attention Installer Instructions that were taped to the front
of the refrigerator.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either the plug or connector end.
After your refrigerator is in operation, do not touch the cold
surfaces in the freezer compartment when hands are damp or
wet. Skin may adhere to the extremely cold surfaces.
In refrigerators with automatic icemakers, avoid contact with
the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating
element that releases the cubes. DO NOT place fingers or
hands on the automatic icemaking mechanism while the
refrigerator is plugged in.
When moving your refrigerator away from the wall,
be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
DO NOTsto re or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
DO NOTallow children to climb, stand or hang on the
refrigerator doors or shelves in the refrigerator. They could
damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themselves.
DO NOTrefre eze frozen foods which have thawed completely.
The United States Department of Agriculture in Home and
Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
Keep fingers out of “pinch point” areas; clearances between
the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily
small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.
“...You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed if
they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold below
40°F (4°C).
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified individual.
“...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, get rid of it. The food may be
dangerous to eat.
Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the
refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or fuse box
in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-
out light bulb may break when being replaced.) NOTE: Setting
either or both controls to the OFF position does not remove
power to the light circuit.
“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 eating quality as you can.”
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.

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.
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
CFC DISPOSAL
Your old refrigerator has a cooling system that used CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). CFCs are believed to harm
stratospheric ozone.
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 this CFC
refrigerant, you can be subject to fines and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
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.
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
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.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending
on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source. When you are finished,
reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and
reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer
Control, depending on the model) to the desired setting.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for

This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
SETTING THE CONTROLS (on some models)
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown
in the illustration below, cool air enters through the bottom
of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then
flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates
under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate
the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (-18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature
as desired.
Refrigerator control: 32°F to 47°F (0°C to 8°C)
ICEBEAM DOOR COOLING (on some models)
DOOR COOLING
The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.
To provide cool air everywhere, there are cool air vents
on all four internal walls in Icebeam Door Cooling and
on two internal wall in Door Cooling.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
SETTING THE CONTROLS
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put
food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate
the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at
4th position 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL
at 4th position 0°F(-18°C)
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature
as desired.
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower
temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer
compartment to make it colder.
Refrigerator control: Position 1 to 7
(30°F to 48°F or - 1°C to 9°C)
The higher position setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or
reliable cookbook.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to
ensure freshness.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If you do, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator, and
also dry out frozen food.
Butter or margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered dish or closed
compartment. When storing an extra supply, wrap
in freezer packaging and freeze.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
Cheese
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Store in the original wrapping until you are ready to
use it. Once opened, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
Plastic-coated paper
Non-permeable plastic wraps
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Milk
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Do not use:
Bread wrappers
Eggs
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
Containers without tight lids
Store in original carton on interior shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Wash, let dry, and store in refrigerator in plastic bags or
crisper. Do not wash or hull berries until they are ready
to use. Sort and keep berries in original container in a
crisper, or store in a loosely closed paper bag on a
refrigerator shelf.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any 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 [907-1350 g per liter] 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.
Leafy vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and
discolored areas. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in
plastic bag or plastic container and store in crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots, peppers)
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type
of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (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.
Place in plastic bags or plastic container and store
in crisper.
Fish
Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day purchased.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.
Meat
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is
airtight and moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the
following chart for storage times. When storing meat
longer than the times given, freeze the meat.
NOTE: Do not store food near the sensor; it may cause
the sensor to malfunction.
Chicken ........................................................... 1-2 days
Ground beef .................................................... 1-2 days
Organ meats (liver, heart, etc.) ....................... 1-2 days
Cold cuts ......................................................... 3-5 days
Steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days
Cured meats ...................................................7-10 days
WARNING
Suffocation Hazard
When using dry ice, provide adequate ventilation.
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide (CO2). When it
vaporizes, it can displace oxygen, causing dizziness,
light-headedness, unconsciousness and death by
suffocation. Open a window and do not breathe
the vapors.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

food locker.
OR
3. Unplug the refrigerator.
b) Place 2 lbs (ca. 1kg) of dry ice in the freezer for
every cubic foot (28 L) of freezer space. This will
keep the food frozen for two to four days. While
handling dry ice, wear gloves to protect your hands
from ice burns.
4. Empty water from the defrost pan.
5. Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape
them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the

leveling legs all the way so they don’t scrape the floor.
See the “Door Closing” section.
c) If neither a food locker nor dry ice is available,
consume or dispose of food at once.
REMEMBER: In a power failure, a full freezer stays
cold longer than a partially filled one. A freezer full of
meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked
goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may
be safely refrozen, although the quality and flavor may
be affected. If the condition of the food is poor, or if you
feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
8. Tape the doors shut and tape the power cord to the
refrigerator cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back
and refer to the “Installing Your Refrigerator” section for
preparation instructions.

flooding from ruptured water lines or connections.
The icemaker will produce eight cubes per cycle
approximately 100 130 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of door openings and other
operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water connection is
made to the icemaker, set the power switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the water
supply, set the power switch to I (on).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to freezing.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to
begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler
arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the
icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become
cloudy, taste stale and shrink.

Unless it is performed by Sears service this water line
installation is not warranted by the refrigerator or icemaker
manufacturer.
Follow these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
If your existing copper 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.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in house
plumbing can cause damage to refrigerator parts and lead
to water leakage or flooding. Call a qualified plumber to
correct water hammer before installing the water supply
line to the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not hook up
the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the water

UNDERSTANDING SOUNDSYOU MAY HEAR
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one
didn’t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you
might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds
are normal. Hard surfaces, like the floor, walls and
cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder than they
actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds
and what may be making them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the
water line or items stored on top of the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently
to keep your food items at the desired temperature.
The high efficiency compressor may cause your new
refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and
you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause
a popping noise.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air
through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost
cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due
to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the
defrost cycle.

room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often.
The door is opened often or a large amount
of food has just been added.
Adding food and opening the door warms the refrigerator.
It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer in order to cool
the refrigerator back down. Adding a large amount of food
warms the refrigerator. See the Food Storage Guide section
on page 16. In order to conserve energy, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep food organized
so it is easy to find and close the door as soon as the food
is removed.

Check if...
Then...
The air vents are blocked. Cold air circulates
from the freezer to the fresh food section and
back again through air vents in the wall dividing
the two sections.
Locate air vents by using your hand to sense airflow and
move all packages that block vents and restrict airflow. Refer
to Icebeam Door Cooling OnPage 14 for the location of air
vents.
The doors are opened often.
When the door is opened, warm humid air is allowed into
the refrigerator. The more the door is opened, the faster the
humidity builds up, and the more warm air the refrigerator
must cool. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
The control is not set correctly for the surrounding
