Use and Care Information
Tips on everyday care and use
1. To control the temperature:
First, set the cold control on "3".
Wait 24 hours for the entire cabinet
to cool. Then adjust the control if
necessary. Setting the cold control
to min. is the warmest setting;
maximum is the coldest. The Max
setting may reduce the temperature
to below freezing, but it will not cool
the refrigerator faster.
2. Defrost:
As long as the Temperature Control
is set at normal position, evaporator
is automatically defrosted and no
manual operation is needed to
defrost.
3. For all cleaning:
Mix 2 tablespoons baking soda with
1 quart warm water or use a mild
soap. Do not use strong cleaners,
scouring powder or pads. For
persistent odors, contact Sears
Service Center for odor removal
products. Do not put the drip tray in
the dishwasher.
4. Cleaning the evaporation tray:
Since the dust accumulated on the
evaporation tray will decrease the
evaporation efficiency, remove the
tray to clean.
The evaporation tray is set on the
back of the refrigerator. This can be
removed by pulling it out from the
back of the unit.
Energy Saving tips
1. Close the door as soon as you can
after opening it to remove the food.
Make sure that the door is fully shut
after each use so that cold air
doesn't escape from the refrigerator
cavity.
2. Adjust the Cold Control. Try a
warmer setting. Your refrigerator
may be colder than necessary. Use
the condition of the milk to check
the refrigerator temperature. As
long as milk keeps without spoiling
your refrigerator is cold enough.
3. Do not place hot foods in the
refrigerator.
4. Reduce the number and length of
time you open the door. Your
cooling system won't have to run as
often.
5. Keep your refrigerator level, so that
the door seals tightly. When the
door is closed, the door gaskets
should touch the refrigerator all the
way around.
6. If not, make the refrigerator level by
use of the adjustable leg located
under the unit.
7. Keep the refrigerator away from
stoves or other heat sources. A cool
and dry place allows your
refrigerator to operate more
efficiently.
Before calling for service
• Check the plug and fuse.
• Test the outlet with a lamp
• Be sure the control is not set to
OFF
• Read the manual, especially the
items under Use and Care
Information. You may find the
answer to your questions.
• If you do not find the answer to
your questions in this manual,
find the unit model number (on
the upper back of the
refrigerator) and contact your
Sears Service Center.
When requesting or ordering parts,
always provide the following information
• Product name
