moving the refrigerator, Otherwise, the parts can
collide and break each other.
• DO NOT touch the automatic ice making mechanism
while the refrigerator is plugged in.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have thawed
completely. The United States Department of Agriculture
in Home and Garden Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that have thawed
if they still contain ice crystals or if they are still cold—
below 39°F (4°C).
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or sh that have any
o-odor or o-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,
dispose of it. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the eating
quality of foods, particularly fruits, vegetables and
prepared foods. The eating quality of red meats is
aected less than that of many other foods. Use refrozen
foods as soon as possible to save as much of their quality
as you can.
Junked or abandoned refrigerators are dangerous, even if they are sitting for only a few days. If you are getting rid of
your old refrigerator, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents (child entrapment and suocation).

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorouorocarbons or
hydrochlorouorocarbons). CFCs and HCFCs are believed
to harm stratospheric ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may also cause harm to the environment
if released to the atmosphere
If you are throwing away your old refrigerator, make
sure the refrigerant is removed for proper disposal by a
qualied technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to nes and imprisonment
under provisions of environmental legislation.
IMPORTANT
: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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 re
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o 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.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, the use of an extension cord is not
recommended.
However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-
listed (USA), 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.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY,
this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit
checked by a qualied electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
• Wash food before storing
• Divide and separate food into smaller pieces.
• Place watery food or food with a lot of moisture in
front shelves (close to door side). If they are placed
close to the cold air vent, they can be frozen.
• Warm or hot food should be cooled down enough
before storing to reduce power consumption and to
enhance refrigeration performance.
• Be careful in storing tropical fruits such as bananas,
pineapples and tomatoes, as they can easily
deteriorate in lower temperatures.
• Keep enough space between the food items. If too
tight or too close, cold air circulation is hindered,
resulting in poor refrigeration.
• Never forget to cover or wrap food to prevent odors.
USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER (continued)
CAUTION
:
• The rst ice and water dispensed may include particles
or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the rst few batches of ice. This is also
necessary if the refrigerator has not been used for a
long time.
• Never store beverage cans or other items in the ice
bin 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 lter
and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a
Sears or other qualied service center. Do not use the
ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• Keep children away from the dispenser. Children may
play with or damage the controls.
• The ice passage may become blocked with frost if only
crushed ice is used. Remove the frost that accumulates
by removing the ice bin and clearing the passage with
a rubber spatula. Dispensing cubed ice can also help
prevent frost buildup.
• Never use thin crystal glass or crockery to collect ice.
Such containers may chip or break resulting in glass
fragments in the ice.
• Dispense ice into a glass before lling it with water
or other beverages. Splashing may occur if ice is
dispensed into a glass that already contains liquid.
• Never use a glass that is exceptionally narrow or
deep. Ice may jam in the ice passage and refrigerator
performance may be aected.
• Keep the glass at a proper distance from the ice outlet.
A glass held too close to the outlet may prevent ice
from dispensing.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the ice
door and passage.
• Never remove the dispenser cover.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn o the
water supply and contact Sears Home Services at
1-844-553-6667 in the United States and
1-800-469-4663 in Canada.
WHEN TO SET ICEMAKER TO OFF
• When the water supply will be shut o for several
hours.
• When the ice bin is removed for more than one or two
minutes.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for several days.
NOTE:
The ice bin should be emptied when the
icemaker ON/OFF button is turned to the OFF mode.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker ON/OFF button to OFF and shut o the
water supply to the refrigerator.
NOTE:
The ice bin should be emptied any time the
icemaker ON/OFF button is turned OFF.
If the ambient temperature will drop below freezing, have
a qualied technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to ooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
How to use the Automatic Icemaker
• About 8 ice cubes (14~16 times a day) are made at
one time. If the ice storage bin is full, ice making stops.
• It is normal for the icemaker to make banging sounds
when the ice cubes are falling into the ice storage bin
• To prevent bad odor smell, regularly clean the ice
cube’s storage bin.
• If the amount of ice in the storage bin is not sucient,
the ice may not be dispensed. Wait a day or so to
make more ice.
• If the ice does not dispense easily, ensure the dispenser
outlet is not blocked

FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
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 date code to
ensure freshness.
Items How to
Butter or
margarine
Keep opened butter in a covered
dish or closed compartment.
When storing an extra supply,
wrap in freezer packaging and
freeze.
Cheese
Store in the original wrapping
until you are ready to use it. Once
opened, rewrap tightly in plastic
wrap or aluminum foil.
Milk
Wipe milk cartons. For best
storage, place milk on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Eggs
Store in original carton on interior
shelf, not on door shelf.
Fruit
Do not wash or hull the fruit
until it is ready to be used. Sort
and keep fruit in its original
container, in a crisper, or store in
a completely closed paper bag
on a refrigerator shelf.
Leafy
vegetables
Remove store wrapping and trim
or tear o 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)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish
Store fresh sh and shellsh in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh sh and shellsh
the same day purchased.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap
or aluminum foil, or store in
plastic containers with tight lids.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE:
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for
further information about preparing food for freezing or
food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a 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 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.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and
type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used
(how 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.
NOTE:
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot
foods before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not
allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could
have food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator and could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-tting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specied freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
CAUTION
: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic
food containers in the freezer compartment. They may
break or burst if they freeze.

(0 °C). The low temperature provides
optimum storage conditions for
perishable food.
Food can be stored much longer in
the Vita Fresh compartment than in
the regular refrigerator compartment
without losing its freshness.
The Vita Fresh compartment is
covered by a special humidity filter.
The special humidity filter optimizes
the humidity in the Vita Fresh
compartment. Depending on how full
the Vita Fresh compartment is, the
humidity can reach up to 90 percent
which is ideal for all garden and field
products such as vegetables,
lettuces, herbs and fruit.

such as tropical fruits, avocados,
papayas, passion fruit, eggplant,
cucumbers, bell peppers as well as
fruit that has to ripen, green tomatoes
and potatoes.
When buying food, please
note:
The ”freshness at purchase” is
important for the storage life of your
food. In general, the fresher the
products are when placed in the

below 41°F (5°C), food can freeze in the refrigerator
compartment. The refrigerator should not be operated in
temperature below 55°F (13°C).
Frost or ice crystals
form on frozen food
(outside of package).
Door is opened frequently or for long
periods of time.
When the doors are opened often or for long periods
of time, warm, humid air enters the compartment. This
raises the temperature and moisture level within the
compartment. Increased moisture will lead to frost and
condensation. To lessen the eect, reduce the frequency
and duration of door openings.
Door is not closing properly. Refer to the Doors will not close correctly or pop open
section in the Troubleshooting section.
Refrigerator or
Freezer section is too
cold.
Incorrect temperature control settings. If the temperature is too cold, adjust the control one
increment at a time and wait for the temperature to
stabilize. Refer to the Setting the Controls section for
more information.
Frost or ice crystals
on frozen food
(inside of sealed
package).
Condensation from food with a high
water content has frozen inside of the
food package.
This is normal for food items with a high water content.
Food has been left in the freezer for a
long period of time.
Do not store food items with high water content in the
freezer for a long period of time.
Icemaker is not
making enough ice.
Demand exceeds ice storage
capacity.
The icemaker will produce approximately 70-182 cubes
in a 24 hour period.
House water supply is not connected,
valve is not turned on fully, or valve is
clogged.
Connect the refrigerator to a cold water supply with
adequate pressure and turn the water shuto valve fully
open.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a
plumber.
Water lter has been exhausted. It is recommended that you replace the water lter:
Approximately every six months.
• When the water lter indicator turns on.
• When the water dispenser output decreases.
• When the ice cubes are smaller than normal.
Low house water supply pressure.
NOTE:
The water pressure must be from 30 to 125 psi
or 207-862 kPa or 2.1-8.8 kgf/cm
²
. If the refrigerator
is installed in an area with low water pressure below
30 psi, you can install a booster pump to compensate
for the low pressure.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a
plumber or install a booster pump to compensate for the
low pressure.
Reverse Osmosis ltration system is
used.
Reverse osmosis ltration systems can reduce the water
pressure below the minimum amount and result in
icemaker issues. (Refer to Water Pressure section.)
Tubing connecting refrigerator to
house supply valve is kinked.
The tubing can kink when the refrigerator is moved
during installation or cleaning resulting in reduced water
ow. Straighten or repair the water supply line and
arrange it to prevent future kinks.
