WARNING
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
• Be sure to turn up the wheel first before moving the
refrigerator - Be sure to turn up the wheel first before
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 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,
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
affected 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 suffocation).
WARNING
: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.

CFC/HCFC DISPOSAL
ELECTRICAL & GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Your old refrigerator may have a cooling system
that used CFCs or HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). 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
qualified technician. If you intentionally release
refrigerant, you may be subject to fines 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 fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off 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 qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.

shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3.
Allow your refrigerator to run for at least two to three
hours before putting food in it. Check the flow of
cold air in the freezer compartment to ensure proper
cooling. Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
INSTALLATION
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 fire
hazard from overheated wires. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
WARNING
Shock Hazard:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not install the
refrigerator in a wet or damp area.
INSTALLATION (continued)
1.
To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be leveled
and installed on a solidly constructed floor. If required,
adjust the leveling legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing. Leveling legs can be turned
easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn the leveling
legs to the left to raise the unit or to the right to lower
it. (See Leveling and door AlIgnment.)
NOTE:
Installing on carpeting, soft tile surfaces,
a platform or weakly supported structure is not
recommended.
2.
Install this appliance in an area where the temperature
is between 55°F (13°C) and 110°F (43°C). If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or high,
cooling ability may be adversely affected.

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.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER (continued)
CAUTION
:
• The first ice and water dispensed may include particles
or odor from the water supply line or the water tank.
• Throw away the first 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 ice maker if the containers burst.
• If discolored ice is dispensed, check the water filter
and water supply. If the problem continues, contact a
Sears or other qualified service center. Do not use the
ice or water until the problem is corrected.
• To avoid personal injury, keep hands out of the
ice maker.
• If ice or water dispenses unexpectedly, turn off the
water supply and contact Sears Home Services at
1-844-553-6667
WHEN TO SET ICEMAKER TO OFF
• When the water supply will be shut off 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 off 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 qualified technician drain the water supply system to
prevent serious property damage due to flooding caused
by ruptured water lines or connections.
How to use the Automatic Icemaker
The ice maker will produce 10 cubes per cycle
-approximately 60 to 100 cubes in a 24-hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature, room
temperature, number of times freezer door is opened, and
other use conditions.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water
line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the ice maker
feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the ice
maker will stop producing ice.
After the ice maker has been turned on again, there will
be a time delay before the ice maker resumes operation.
When ice dispenses, it is normal for several cubes to be
joined together.
If ice is not dispensed on a regular basis, old ice cubes will
discolor and shrink. If you won’t be using ice on a regular
basis, turn the ice maker off.

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 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)
Place in plastic bags or plastic
container and store in crisper.
Fish
Store fresh fish and shellfish in
the freezer section if they are not
being consumed the same day of
purchase. It is recommended to
consume fresh fish and shellfish
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-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified 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.

REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet
your individual storage needs. Your model may have glass
or wire shelves.
Adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will
make finding the exact item you want easier. Doing so will
also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is
open which will save energy.
IMPORTANT:
Do not clean glass shelves with warm water
while they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact.
CAUTION
: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care
when removing them.
Adjusting Shelves (Cantilever)
Remove shelves from the shipping position and replace
shelves in the position you want.
To remove a shelf
: Lift up on front of shelf with one
hand and with other hand push up on back of shelf to
release attachment hooks from attachment slots. Pull
the shelf out.
To reinstall a shelf:
With front of shelf angled slightly
up, engage hooks on back of shelf into attachment
slots, and then lower front of shelf into place.
CAUTION
: Make sure that shelves are level from one
side to the other. Failure to do so may result in the shelf
falling or spilling food.

Vita Fresh
compartment
(not included on all models)
The temperature inside the Vita Fresh
compartment is kept at almost 32 °F
(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.
Vita Fresh is suitable for:
Basically any food that is fresh and is
to be kept fresh longer, such as meat
and meat products, fresh fish,
seafood, milk, butter, soft cheese,
cottage cheese, fruit and vegetables.
Vita Fresh is not suitable for:
Fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold,
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
